after victorious ended and ari was making her popstar debut there was a moment of time where she was acting like and laughing like Cat (her character from victorious). At the time, fans pointed this out and she said that she was adopting the Cat persona because she was afraid people wouldn’t like the real her. It may have been a twitter post but I’m not sure. I remember this era being her most receptive era where she would slightly respond to criticism. Nowadays she seems like she drowns it all out to the point of gaslighting her fans.

I’m starting to see some parallels and patterns with her adopting personas and changing from one person to the next.
