Level 4 · 10 mo agoHe tried to mold Valeria and criticized her for liking fashion? That is such toxic behavior. Major red flag energy! He sounds like a total narcissist.

Level 10 · 10 mo agoTreating Valeria like a project he could fix up and then dumping her by letter is trash. Leo was clearly just in love with his own inflated ego.
