WHITNEY ROSE: For a minute there, I was all over the place. You'll see me kind of go full circle of how am I going to show up for her? Because to be honest, Jen and I didn't have a relationship at all until this season. She was awful to me first season. I mean, she threatened to drown me by my house.

GIBSON JOHNS: Oo! She sure did.

WHITNEY ROSE: And, you know, but season two we did start off OK. And we were starting to build on our friendship. And for me what you can expect is it takes me a minute to decide how I'm going to show up for her, but I decided I'm going to show up as Whitney Rose, and I'm just going to keep the peace because there's no point for me to condemn her, chastise her, judge her until we know.

Her trial is in March. It starts in March. And once we get more information, then I can really-- I think that'll better inform how I want to move forward. But for the rest of the season, there is no reason for me to be mean to her.
