the hilarity of her doing drinking buddies amidst all of the tabloid drama is that they were thrown into the brewery thing and really drinking on set so there's some irony to her trying to rebuff those rumors while drinking professionally, BUT i was thinking there might've been some rumors about them (probably started by her mom or at least fueled by her) being out of control on set or hooking up, especially if they were caught out and about in chicago during that time even if it was a group thing, they'd spin it to be this party girl + the cleaning up bad boy or if he was kind of reformed after being good for blue valentine press, they could have accused her of bringing out his bad habits, etc etc. i'm all for them being assholes to each other for the first week or even still being assholes to each other now, i'm not picky, but they could have hit a stride with trying to out-asshole each other and accidentally fell into a friendship instead. one where they're occasionally assholes.
