You’re taking my comment out of context. i was AGREEING with your OP, and feeling SAD that ALSO Mimi spoke in a way I perceived to be rude to Stevie! (Hence my broken heart in my comment - “even Mimi spoke super rude to stevie <\3”.) Mimi was standing up for herself, yes. Agreed. Could she have handled it differently? Yes. In my perception did she speak rudely to him? Also yes. We can agree to disagree on my statement, that’s fine.

I was agreeing with you that it sucks that Simon and George (and Paige, my sincerest apologies for missing that name in my response too) AND Mimi from what I saw are treating Stevie with a lack of respect. I was certainly NOT deflecting off of anyone. The way they speak to Stevie is at times disgusting.

I was more looking at it in a, “we have seen a lot of people be mean to Stevie and that is not ok” aspect. From my perception, it feels like he is being ostracised from/bullied by the GROUP.
