Waaaaah! ‘The dude has parents and a son to support in China and not only will he not know when he’s going to see them again if he comes over, what if he gets infected and ends up with a serious case of Covid that could put his life in danger? But no, its all about what Ella needs and her whiny petulant demands for her Asian prince to come over so she can have her sexual needs satisfied.”
Another Redditor felt similarly, “She literally could not care less about johnny. she just wants her Asian prince so she can show him off to all of her other white friends who also weirdly have Asian SOs. I’m convinced Johnny could tell her Stoney’s sick which is why he can’t come and she would just tell him to pawn him off on his parents.”
