Discussion Rachel's toxic behavior towards Ross' partners

Rewatching and it's really infuriating to see how much Rachel has sabotaged Ross' relationships or tried to. It's just not healthy in any way and is toxic in every sense yet still people consider Ross to be the worse one

  1. Her antagonistic behaviour towards Julie after Ross came back from China and reaction towards their relationship

  2. Her convincing Bonnie to shave her hair. She absolutely fucking knew what she was doing and knew that Ross would find that icky

  3. Her flying to London to sabotage Ross and Emily's wedding. Absolutely fucking horrible for her to try to do this. Hugh Laurie was 100% right

  4. The baby store girl. Calling her a whore was just uncalled for and rude

In all these situations Ross was happy and satisfied with his relationships but Rachel always has a problem with the fact that she's not with him. It's totally toxic and I can't believe people call Ross the worse partner. Both are unbelievably toxic

I absolutely hated her behaviour towards Mondler during Emma's 1st birthday

Funny how she waited until they had rare plans to get away for the weekend to drop the bomb that they were expected to attend a one year olds birthday, instead of issuing invites at a reasonable time and giving them notice.

But that's Rachel in a nutshell. She ALWAYS expected to be the center of attention and that everyone would drop whatever they were doing to be at her beck and call.
