The Slate column by Scaachi Koul reflects on the dynamics of breakups, particularly contrasting her own restrained response to divorce with Cardi B's more theatrical reaction to her split from Offset. Koul illustrates the emotional turmoil and decisions faced after a breakup, emphasizing the tension between choosing a dignified silence versus an outspoken confrontation. Through the lens of celebrity, Koul suggests that there is value in expressing anger and discontent openly, rather than suppressing feelings and allowing unresolved issues to linger unresolved.
Now I see that I was indeed too calm, and too quiet. Because you know who's handling a post-breakup crash-out in the exact way I wish I had? Cardi B.
There are always two routes to take in a breakup. You can be quiet and dignified, taking the dutiful march up the high road, hoping that comeuppance will happen on its own terms.
