Oh, quite simply, she slept with Manuel, knowing exactly what it would do to Amanda. I know Amanda is not your favorite person - to make a gross understatement - but there are just lines that one does not cross, and having sex with someone's boyfriend is one of them.

Ah. Thank you.

Are you suggesting that it's Jubilee's fault that Manuel slept with her and upset Amanda? Jubilee isn't responsible for Manuel's relationship, and I'm sure Manuel knew the consequences of his actions. I fail to understand why sex is such a sticking point for people here, but nonetheless problems between couples are between the couples, not the other participants, so far as I know.

When I looked in on the party last night, I thought Manuel and Jubes looked fairly close, to say the least. And I also noticed that Amanda was there, so if she had a problem, she might have brought it up then.

If the three of them want to play Days of Our Bloody Complicated Enough Thank You Lives, that's fine, but I rather doubt that your input is strictly necessary on Jubilee's journal. If Jubilee is hurt, which I assume she is since typing badly with one hand doesn't seem normal even for her, then she has run away from medical attention as well as the situation at hand, and I would think that even someone on the opposite side of the conflict would express some kind of discretion if that is indeed the case.

To put it as succintly as possible, Jubilee knows better, or should. Manuel is rather a hopeless case.

Jubilee has spent the better part of six months taunting Amanda, provoking her and being generally rude and starting fights and picking and picking and picking. I imagine this was the final straw. She could have at the least had the discretion to not put it out there for the world to see. I had more than enough of my fill of Jubilee flitting about in Asgard practically falling out of those little silk dresses and buzzing Doug endlessly.

For someone who claims to be older than the rest of us, she certainly acts far younger.

Regardless, I am leaving this whole mess alone now before I make it any worse for Amanda. There is little I can do, and frankly, except for trying to calm Amanda down, I really could care less about who else is hurt in this situation.

You didn't tell me why Jubilee should be responsible for Amanda's relationship, or obvious lack thereof. If Manuel's a hopeless case, that's still Amanda's problem, not Jubilee's.

Amanda and Jubilee do have some kind of bitter rivalry dislike thing going on, but if you think one side's better than the other, you clearly haven't seen very many bitter rivalry dislike things. There is no moral high ground involved there.

But since it's jealousy on your part, I can hardly blame you, can I? It's such an ugly, insidious little emotion. Jubilee lives the way she lives, and if Doug was looking at her falling out of those little silk dresses, then that's Doug's problem, not hers. She does lack that mind-control power, inasmuch as I can tell.

Just because it's easy to blame her -- and I'm sure it is -- doesn't mean that she's really at fault.
