I Need Advice

Please! My bestie is accusing me of being an animal killer supporter. She stopped supporting me and making my life a living nightmare.

My best friend is currently not speaking to me because she thinks I’m supporting people that kill animals to make fashion coats. I wanted to join the fashion show. She was excited for me until she looked at the fur coats. She suggested I shouldn’t sign up. I didn’t wanna miss a chance to be on the fashion show so I did with the permission from my dad. My beat friend went ballistic! She screamed, “Layla (me) HOW COULD YOU?!!” I apologized but I couldn’t miss out and it wasn’t her place to tell me what to do. She yelled at me that that is cruelty to animals and I shouldn’t do the show. I asked her to stop yelling at me but she said, “Well I’m going to because you chose to do the show and you didn’t even think about MY FEELINGS!!!!!!! WHY?!” She’s a vegetarian and been one for two years. She’s annoying. We got into a HUGE fight and she screamed, “I can’t support you! I DONT WANNA BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE THAT SUPPORTS ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!! That is WRONG!!!!!!!!!” She stormed of and started crying. It’s been a while and she still won’t talk to me. The fashion thing got cancelled due to COVID 19. She hasn’t spoken to me since April. She won’t text or call me back. What is her deal? I am not cruel to animals. Why is my friend acting like this?

I read the whole thing and first, I'm surprised that anyone is still having fashion shows with real furs involved.

This really isn't about the fashion show. It's about friendship. My daughter would be very upset if I had anything to do with killing animals for their fur and so I wouldn't do it.

If the show is important to you, then you're going to have to decide between it and your best friend.

It's your call.

@Mamapolo2016 If she was a REAL friend, she would support me but NOT, she decided to stop supporting me about the fashionable fur coats and stopped talking to me! She screamed that I didn’t even considered HER feelings. My other best friend told me I should at least see her point of view. Why should I? My dad told me I didn’t tell him about the fur part and I should not do it bi it’s my choice. My best friend is being a brat. It’s MY choice and she needs to be a friend!
@AutismGirl18 Could be she's thinking the same way.
@AutismGirl18 It IS your choice. But not killing animals is important enough to her that she hasn't eaten meat for two years.

You have to decide if she (and your dad) are wrong about the morality of being in the show and if a couple of hours of a fashion show is worth ditching the friendship.
