Abbott Elementary Fans Disapprove Of The Way Janine Ended Things With Mo – Looper

If one thing is clear following Episode 17, it’s that every fan would have broken up with Mo better than Janine did. On Twitter, @SwissMontana6 wrote, “Anybody with sense could have told them that showing up together to tell Maurice about the kiss was a terrible idea. Janine and Gregory know better.” @AshakiFitima replied to “Abbott Elementary” creator and star Quinta Brunson, saying Janine’s breakup with Mo broke him, while @justtayr2 suggested that the teacher should’ve listened to her friend and not told him about the kiss. @Daviesallison1A simply stated, “Janine should’ve told Maurice without Gregory in the room.” @Nick74D gave props to Jacob for his work in the episode, but for Janine and Gregory, all they had to say was, “SMH.” 

On Reddit, the bashing of Janine and Gregory continued, with users rallying in support of Mo. U/MasterPrek said, “Who the hell breaks up with somebody over dinner? She knows she should’ve told him right then and there. When he surprised her with his MoDash lunch.” U/gldwatch pointed out the specific issue with the breakup, saying, “[B]reaking up with your man in front of the potential new man is nasty work.” It seems like the scenario left a lot of “Abbott” fans disliking Janine and Gregory. U/OwlAcrobatic7292 said their opinion on the two teachers took a negative turn after the episode, while u/GambinoGurl might find it hard to forgive them for hurting Vince Staples. 

However, all hope is not lost within the “Abbott” fanbase, as u/alh030705 understood where Janine and Gregory’s viewpoints on the matter. “I’ve got to give Janine a pass on this because she just has so little dating/breakup experience,” they wrote. “And Gregory just wanted to be straight with his friend. Good intentions led to an awkward, dorky mess.”
