In another life, this story could be about two women, Tess and Natalie, teaming up to take revenge on their verbally, emotionally, and sexually abusive ex-boyfriend who used their pain for his benefit but no we have this

[@devonmunn5728]

So it could be in the vain of something like Sweet/Vicious?

[@thecavalieryouth]

Why couldn't we have followed Tess trying to sue him to fuck and back for what he did??! And also maybe filed a restraining order.

[@rileywells6003]

I would read a story about those two getting revenge on Harden

[@sukihana23]

Please someone make this happen

[@dumbysoup9011]

Right, imagine they didn’t know about the books at first and broke up with him beforehand then later finding their personal lives and trauma plastered everywhere, their full names and everything. So they both meet each other and talked about their horrible experiences and realize they don’t want another girl to go through this. Then they expose his lies, sue the crap out of him and ruin his life entirely. I would read that

[@NummyNuttyNumNuts]

The fact that this movie didn't open up with Tessa suing the bricks off Hardin I will never understand or condone it based entirely off that.

[@adeleaslan8182]

girl if you think what he did to Natalie in the movie was bad... the book is so horrendous I can't even explain. My jaw dropped when you said Natalie's name and it brought back so much trauma In the book, Hardin and his friends in England had running bets on how fast they could take girl's virginity. There were MULTIPLE girls him and his friends did this to, where they pretended to be into them, fucked them, and left. But one of Hardin's friends said he wanted evidence because they didn't know if their friends were telling the truth about the girls, so they all started recording themselves having sex with girls. None of them asked for permission Natalie was the only girl Hardin recorded, but she did not know about the video being taken, and when it got out things were so much worse for her than the movie. Not only did she lose her scholarship, her parents kicked her out, and because she was around 17, she had nowhere to go. So she went to Hardin and asked him to let her stay AND HE SAID NO Hardin knew he was the reason Natalie lost her scholarship and her home, he knew Natalie had fallen in love with him and that he was the only one she had left, AND HE LEFT HER ON THE STREETS Don't even start with this series, it's worthy of a death sentence Edit: I completely forgot about this but it's so nasty I have to add it on. Natalie was the only girl he recorded when he played this gross game in England, but after he came to the US after his mom found out about the Natalie thing, but he did this to his friend Dan's sister. Dan told him to leave his sister alone, but Hardin still slept with her and recorded it just to piss Dan off for telling him not to talk to his sister. And when Tessa judged him for it, he said 'It's fine, he's a dick anyway.' He didn't even view this girl as a person, he just uses her to hurt other people

[@Gabrielle-wg4ik]

There is so much wrong with this and I find it absolutely insane if anyone still roots for Hardin and Tessa as a couple. He should be in jail

[@adeleaslan8182]

@@Gabrielle-wg4ik girl it gets even worse. I forgot to mention this, but Hardin admits this to Tessa. Tessa actually feels awful for Natalie and gets away from Hardin to think about it, but she later feels JEALOUS of her. It's genuinely so disgusting

[@Gabrielle-wg4ik]

@adeleaslan8182 Tessa and Hardin are so horribly written and toxic, they're truly the bane of my existence 💀

[@prettynpetty8342]

The central theme of "Only fix yourself for a woman who deserves it" is one of the most harmful messages that men can consume in modern media. Women can get unalived for rejecting a men who has become obsessed with her and redeeming themselves THROUGH her after all they've done to people. It's a selfish message that reduces women to objects who are soley responsible for men's redemption. Hardin doesn't want to be good for himself, because what does he get out of it, if not Tessa? She's just another cope, just like his drinking.

[@loneeggtt]

yes yes and yes, this all I thought about through out the movie, why no be a better person for yourself and in turn it will benefit all those around you, this level of obsession is scary, this man is Chernobyl personified.

[@tarotsushima3332]

Hearing this after all the devil stories crossposted from subreddits like Off My Chest and Confession of guys admitting to taking advantage of homeless women and coercing their exes into sex but because they made a big show of talking about how disgusted they were about themselves about it but not how apologetic they are, people just treated what happened to those women as a learning experience that those dudes grew from, yeah. Tessa ended up with the Devil Incarnate of a partner and the fact that he got zero accountability up till the end makes me wish to high heaven the author never gets kids, especially sons. People can call escapism all they want but I think certain writing just unveils the author's personality rather than the characters if you ask me.

[@beafraid5467]

​​@@tarotsushima3332i legit don’t go on reddit bc the cruelty and sheer audacity of men displayed there makes me literally hateful towards them. The amount of times I’ve seen guys basically confessing to rape and other men in the comments being all supportive towards them because oh well but you regret it, and what can you do now anyways, learn and grow bestie!... they legit don’t even want to think for a second what sa does to a person’s mind and body.

[@SaintShion]

The message is already bad, but adding the _only "fix" yourself if the person you deem worthy doesn't like you_ message is def toxic. Which is ironic since the ML is saying hes wrote the book to help ppl like him. TF?! This is also my *HUGE* issue with romance in media; internalized misogyny. Seeking value only through a mans approval. I mean the end where FL is _apologizing_ to the guy who wrote a book about you with out her knowledge than F-ing him after?? Kinda ick.

[@xeecstasy3183]

The message should be fix yourself into a better you for yourself, because realizing you need to change is a big enough step.

[@catwmn2345]

The fact that Tessa only showed up in flashbacks until the very end and then was like "yeah, let's f*ck" and "I was wrong too" was wild. Almost as wild as that last wig someone made her wear.

[@impposter560]

Somehow, all these stories written by women come across as male fantasy when it comes to accountability, huh?😅

Not sure if you know but apparently it’s cause the actress for Tessa didn’t comeback for this movie. It’s an extra movie basically. The wedding and kids part was supposed be the original ending at the end of the last movie but they extended the series for another film.

According to Amanda the Jedi, Tessa’s actress wasn’t in the movie. That last scene with her there is a scene the makers filmed for After Ever Happy. They just kept it until this one. Tessa’s actress dipped out after 4 movies, which I don’t blame her for honestly. Those movies suck so bad 🫠

[@romanticacid9304]

something that really bothers me about those movies is that everytime SA is mentioned it's never about the victim. the whole situation that happened with hardin's mom, while, yes, he would absolutely be traumatized by witnessing something like that, it's never adressed how this would affect her; she just goes "i'm over it, you should be too". and now with natalie, it's the exact same thing; she's also magically over something so deeply traumatizing like that and hardin is the only one who is still dreading it and SHE is the one to tell HIM that he should be over it. except this time it's even worse because he is the abuser in the situation. it feels like they are trying reaaally hard to paint him as this super great guy and be like "look how caring and worried he is. even the victims don't care anymore and he still does:((((("

[@silviaov633]

I couldn't agree more, it was revolting.

[@syrusangi8743]

Honestly like sir, feeling bad is the bare minimum. If everyone felt bad about shit they did n could move on, we wouldn't need prison. I mean it's sad that the author utilizes the trauma of women to gather sympathy for the male mc who by all accounts (except his mum) is the cause of those trauma. I swear, the author was way too young to publish this with a matured conscience, but I mostly blame the adults for letting this happen. We've all made some cringe worthy media at least once in our lives, but to have it popularized to this extent as 'After', I wonder if the author ever looked back to realize the problematic undertones of her works

[@Esmeyippie]

Im still not over the fact they tried to make a redemption arc for a ARSONIST REVENGE PORNOGRAPHER LIKE A LITERAL CANONICAL ARSONIST REVENGE PORNOGRAPHER

[@abrokecollegestudent3507]

In the second book Harden admitted to Tessa that he basically recorded and sent ch*ld p*rnography of Natalie to his friends and ruined her life and not giving a shit. I'm just here to say this. Guess they held on to this plotline because they knew most people wouldn't watch the rest of the movies when the male lead is committing crimes against multiple women.

[@purrgundy]

Should've kept it in the movies! I don't think there's a YA fanfiction/wattpad movie about a forbidden romance with an inmate yet, is there? (There probably is at least one... somewhere on the Internet) Plus it could've shown that actions have consequences and given Harden some massive character development. What a shame.

[@abrokecollegestudent3507]

​@@purrgundyit shows how incredibly vapid she is as a character bc almost every experience she has with him (right down to her finding out he made a bet to take her virginity) was a bad one. And the only reason she continued to interact with him despite him making her feel like absolute crap way too often to even be classified as a semi decent boyfriend is bc she found him attractive.

[@nocte.animam]

[@nocte.animam]

@@purrgundyI guess it'd serve to not romanticise him as much, but... yikes.

[@lustforlimerence]

for anyone who was also confused as fuck as to why tessa, the protagonist of the last 4 movies, was barely there: josephine langford, who plays tessa, didn't want to come back for the 5th movie because she felt that the story was over and there was nothing more to add. then the studios said "eh fuck it" and greenlit the 5th one, using footage of the wedding and them as parents that was actually filmed as the ending to the 4th one. i guess this is kind of based off of "before", which is the prequel book? never read it, so i can't say for certain, but yeah that's why nothing makes sense and there's a shit ton of flashbacks 😭

[@masodemic4509]

In the words of Herb Kazzaz: “I do not forgive you. You have to live the shitty thing, you did, for the rest of your life. You have to know that it's never ever going to be okay. And I will never forgive you for that. Now get the fuck out of my house!” Them can’t really be thinking that Hardin deserves his Zuko Alone journey 😭

[@flowersandcheesecake1710]

EXACTLY Zuko was forced by unfortunate circumstances since birth directly related to having fire hitler as a father, yes Hardin has suffered through his mom but what he does to other girl and other women is disproportionate to what he’s pretty indirectly link to (cuz this patriarchal story doesn’t reveal how Hardin and ESPECIALLY his mom life were like after the tragedy)

[@mfuentes4961]

I actually dated a guy like Hardin who would enact these giant freakouts to break up then show up later to lovebomb me into getting back together. After 2 cycles of this, I had enough and blocked him out of my life. This guy showed up at my jobs, called my family, left notes on my door. All after trashing my apartment in a freakout to go sleep with someone else. Years later he sends another searching email where I told him to kick rocks before my husband smashes his face against one. Never heard from him again 😁

[@ginakrzebiot1519]

So sorry to hear it took mentioning your husband for him to leave you alone but happy that you got out of that situation in general!

[@availanila]

Had a guy like this too, but I was the other girl. I was minding my own business not quite caring enough for the hot and cold guy till one day, after a date, a furious woman called to curse me out for being the reason her live in boyfriend was leaving her. He'd been picking fights with her to shoot his shot with me. Worst thing? There'd been a baby crying in the background when she'd been yelling at me. Promptly dumped him, or fought to, he wouldn't leave me alone coz he'd given up so much for me. Years later he call again to shoot his shot. I gave him a long lecture that hopefully sent him off for good.

[@lisettes.9598]

@@availanila yup, they go nuclear to have a reason to leave the house for the night or a couple of days. Once you realize what's really going on, it's humiliating. Arguing with and trying to work things out with someone who is just desperate to go get it in with someone else. Good for you for stepping away when you figured out what was happening, because a lot of women just don't care and perhaps like feeling like they were picked over someone else.

[@lillost]

Now wait a dang minute--- If Harden was 19/20 when he did met Tessa and he did what he did to Natalie 5 years prior... doesn't that make them 14/15 as in MINORS?? So not only did he ruin that girl's life, he committed a major crime in distributing child pr*n?????? JAIL.

Pretty sure he filmed her w/o her consent, sent it to his friends and his friends then individually asked to sleep with her and threatened to leak the video if she wouldn't. She refused and got kicked out of her church and her parents disowned her. Her reputation was completely soiled after sleeping with 1 guy once.

Harden's publishing storyline is pure irony from an author who made millions representing a real man she's never met as a violent abuser without his consent. I don't think she knows what an artistic muse is. It's meant as a person or thing that inspires you to create your own original works, not someone who makes you go "wow, all this personal tragedy would make a great story!" and literally write down every detail of their real life.

[@vcutler4735]

They could have halfway salvaged this by at the very end having Hardin wake up and realize it's just a dream and that he never made money off a book and like is stuck working a dead end job and fb stalking Tessa and Natalie who are living their best lives.

"He has reached the conclusion that it was probably not the best thing to do, writing the book about Tessa, but not enough to stop him from writing a second book" Kennie please I'm deceased, the tone, the cut right after, the absolute chaos and pound-my-head-against-a-wall frustration that is Hardin's character, I found this line so funny. 😂 I cannot get over the absolute disrespect of at least asking Natalie for permission when he didn't even do that for Tessa, Hardin is trash and I live for the slander.

there's something really funny about writing a self insert fanfiction about you and a celebrity and write them as so awful that you break up constantly. like, the author, who must love harry styles to write fanfic about him, wrote him as a character that she breaks up with multiple times? does she actually secretly hate harry styles? also poor harry styles, i hope he hasnt seen any of these movies.

[@1207wishes]

there is absolutely no way that this movie should’ve ended with hardin being alive and well

[@siobhan4862]

I was in 11th grade when these movies started coming out and now I'm about to end my 4-year-university.. I can't believe this shit lasted so long .

[@ambds1975]

I love when you do a dramatic look, it's art. I think the natural look gets approval because you are *so pretty*. Thank you for sitting through this drivel for our amusement. :D

[@PurpleQuestions]

To quote past Kennie, “I’m no lawyer, I’m just a girl with common sense” but a slightly better movie instead would be Tessa taking this man to court on a privacy lawsuit, cause how the hell is he gonna write a book based on her private life and things only he knew, not change her name in the book, make profit, and not expect his ass to be sued???

[@ShinyPrimarina]

There is something to be said about male artists who use women to fuel their art and call them their muse despite it being to their detriment. It reminds me of an art piece, also called ThecMuse's revenge iirc where it shows a man laid past out surrounded by his paintings of a woman in his mansion while said woman -- his muse -- is about to shoot him.

[@JustWhattaRuLookinAt]

At this rate, it’s gonna be hard for me to believe they won’t have an “After We Divorced” & “After We Passed Away” sequels even *after* saying this is it.

[@SamiHM_]

21:46 I love how you’re friend didn’t even know who you were talking abt but still said “BEAT HIS ASS” 😭😭😭

[@fromlissawithlove]

Yay! In honor of spooky season, Kennie decided to review a horror film for us!!!❤🙃☺️

[@SkyChord2010]

So apparently this movie had a lack of Tessa because the actress who played her didn't want to be in the movies anymore? Even she was tired of this shit 💀

[@renatabarbosa574]

Pros: people know about more about Portugal, Kennie is chaotic and hangover and we love to see it, and still amazing. Cons: it's an After movie

[@A8NTnoVidHeO]

Russet & Bubbles, an iconic duo. 🐶🧡🐶 I'm sure Victoria Monet put on a show ✨️ I don't know how they do it! 1 night of Renaissance took me out for days. Stamina!! 😂

[@katiec.936]

The funniest thing about this franchise is how almost every original actor ends up leaving including the female lead.

[@roselover411]

I do in fact LOVE your bright and experimental makeup, I LIVE for your fabulous colors and unique designs and blending. I do appreciate your hard work, Kennie!

[@shanaanthonette8161]

Girl I saw this dumpster fire and was just waiting for you to review😂😂

[@kireikay]

“Oh this movie is just Hardin…oh no” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@trianenopenottrian9108]

Harden is a pathetic character for many reasons but my biggest upset is the normalization of man babies and the I can fix him mentality & all the feminism leaves my body when women like men like this cause I do not feel bad when reality hits them.

[@plushdragonteddy]

i will say, as someone who was in an abusive relationship, the abuser will often gaslight their victim and make them question their perception of reality, so the victim will think they’re overreacting or even making things up. my ex convinced me *i* was the one hurting *him* by trying to set boundaries. it wasn’t that i didn’t see a problem, it’s that i was made to believe it was my own fault. the only thing that got me out of there was lots of therapy.

[@xrrgr]

@@plushdragonteddy ❤❤

[@beafraid5467]

What do you mean by ’reality hitting them’, to be clear? Because abusers prey on vulnerable, lonely people, shower them with affection and make them dependent on them, first. Is the first SA the moment when reality hits them, or is it when they realise they were sa’d and otherwise abused, which happens much later for those who survive?

[@alanaadornato5596]

I'm sorry? Are you saying that you do not feel bad when reality hits women who like these men? If so, that's a horrible thing to say! If people knew that they are going to be victims of something horrible like SA and abusive relationships, do you think that they would want to be victims? Most victims don't even know that they're being abused because they're manipulated into thinking that this is normal and that they deserve this; which they clearly do not deserve this, nobody does! Pieces of media such as this film series manipulates women into thinking this ok as well so please don't tell me that you're going to punish the women who like these men and not even begin to address how horrible this side of society (aka the patriarchy) is. I would love for you to rephrase yourself because I do not want to be rude but, how can you call yourself a feminism if you're going to shame women for falling prey to these abusive behaviors and the attempts to continue to normalize them?

[@KSan357]

A bit of an odd suggestion. Tammy and the T-Rex. It stars Denise Richard and Paul Walker and Paul Walker has his brain put into an animatronic T-Rex. It gave me the same feeling you describe when talking about your love of bad movies

[@Illyrian5]

... and then he wakes up on the airplane again - the reconciliation was all a dream! Would make so much better sense. The banter between you and your friend and the puppies was the most delightful thing!

[@dontbother2knock]

i need to your thoughts on this old 90s film called "An Indecent Proposal". It's a batshit insane movie about a couple that gets propositioned a large sum of money if the wife spends one night with an old millionaire. Truly one of the most batshit movies I've seen.

[@Katie-cw1hs]

Listen the background chaos MADE this for me 😂 Give Chibi, Bubbles, and Russet all the love because I was laughing my butt off the entire BM&B!

[@isaa1782]

Seldom have I seen a character as unredeemable as Hardin. In the books he's even worse, especially when it comes to Natalie. The message of this all is so awful: he can go around, abuse people and treat everyone like shit, only to be forgiven cause he had a hard life too, and then finally steals Tessa's dreams. As I remember, she was always the one into books and publishing and now she's the perfect housewife while Hardin's got to be a freaking bestselling author??? Besides, of course her infertility that costs Hardin oh so much pain and trouble had to magically vanish, because it's no happy end if they don't have kids

[@juliar6714]

I just love that they made another movie although the actress playing Tessa refused to come back for the final movie. All scenes with Tessa were supposed to be in the last movie but they just made a whole other movie 😂

[@Wynntersenk6017]

Honestly I love your personality more than anything else on your videos and that’s why I keep coming back to watch your videos

[@Lucia-sy2hc]

I know it doesn’t matter, please do whatever makeup you like and want to do (that’s the fun of makeup), but I really enjoy your “cool” makeup. It’s really beautiful, fun to watch you apply and it’s always really creative! You are incredibly talented and I really enjoy your more “cool” looks!

[@90sDRgirl]

I like when Kenny does creative makeup .. because you never know how it's gonna happen me up lol it's 🔥 every time

[@jlouisa]

This movie is the worst. For context, in the book, they didn’t date. She didn’t know he filmed her if I remember from people who reviewed the after series. When Natalie asked Hardin for help but he said it wasn’t his problem. How is this the love interest and a heartthrob.

[@hp8685]

"oh we're talking about Harden?" lmao i need a friend that backs me up that immediately and unquestioningly

[@mollyprincessandHIM]

Please, please do the Korean movie My Little Bride. It is so messed up and bad. The story is about an arranged marriage between a teenage girl and her teacher!

[@justdej]

"Ugh you can't talk about our souls like that" 😂

[@monarenegadelisa]

Congrats on slaying the dragon that is the “After” series, Kendall! ❤

[@rosearcanum5021]

bubbles and russet were STARS in this

[@JJjsd6h23]

LAWD when I heard ‘we closing out a series I’m glad to see go’ I thought kennie meant her own BAD MOVIES SERIES. My stomach filled with doom and I nearly yelled NOOO Girl I live for these weekly chats

[@valeriarossini543]

genuine question: is it legal to write books about real people’s experiences, with embarassing or traumatic details of their lives, and using their actual names?? Without their consent???

[@luh.4968]

In reallife you could sue them

[@quinntribolet6593]

I LOVE THE PUPPY CHAOS AND I LOVE THE GENERAL CHAOS OF THESE VIDEOS!! BEST PART OF SATURDAY!!

[@melancholyjones2873]

I've never engaged w/ these movies, the books or the og fanfic outside of bmaab. I have no emotional investment in the story whatsoever, & yet still I'm infuriated. Like, a genre of romance that, for all its problems, is about centering the desires of young women - culminating in a film series that ultimately doesn't give a shit about what the female lead wants, feels or does is depressing af. At least the twilight series stays focused on *why* bella wants edward, & what *she* gets out of their relationship! After doesn't give a shit about tessa, & I'm really scared of how that reflects the current trends in romance aimed at girls/women (both published & fanfic). To me it seems we're so caught up in the drama of forbidden/"toxic" relationships & "flawed" love interests, that the actual core of the genre - female power fantasy/self-actualization manifested thru romance - is being disregarded. I dunno maybe I'm overreacting, but it pisses me off that the most popular het romances of the last 10ish years seem to think endless manpain inherently makes a story more "complex" & engaging than just, letting their female leads WANT things & work to obtain them.

[@ccaltuna398]

As someone who’s really active in fanfic and knows how incredibly high-quality it can be, it kinda breaks my heart that trash like this and 50 Shades shape so much of the perception of it.

[@sunny-wl1mp]

The "beat his ass" from the the other room. Hahahaha
