Ciara is trying too hard to have an Ariana moment but the situation is vastly different and so is her skill set.
This is not all her fault. You get the roles you get and try your best to fill them, but the situation itself was capitalized on too soon and was an over reaction. I remember days after she had a Sephora ad talking about how makeup will be there for forever unlike friends?? Then saying West tried to ruin her life on DWTS? Y'all dated for less than half a year. It is not enough to justify "ruining your life". Like you didn't own a house with this man for years, write a book with him etc. it just comes off as super weird and makes me wonder what she even wants in a person? In my opinion she doesn't like anyone or that's what she portrays on the show. She can be such a wet blanket. Maybe I can see West and Amanda MAYBE thought this would cause her to leave and hurt her income but obviously it wouldn't play out with Bravo fans. She's sick of immature guys so she....checks notes.....keeps going to the Hamptons to go to superficial parties. Ariana did it so smart and left after the scandal. Granted Ciara might but it just felt corny to have her so upset and then return to Suh a trigger some environment.
That said. I think she would be a great actor. Like if she was on the Pitt, I feel like it would be an amazing spot for her. Or even on St. Dennis Medical. Something close to what she has done. Or the Bachlorette. This whole run after the scandal felt forced and not in line with her true talents. That said it isn't her fault entirely, it's her agent, the industry and the network.
