The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Fans Criticize Jeremiah Amid Wedding Fallout

The ninth episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 sees Belly remaining in Paris after her engagement to Jeremiah is called off, facing unexpected hardships including losing her spot at the academy and having her backpack stolen. Jeremiah, devastated by the wedding cancellation, spirals into heavy drinking and hostility, particularly towards Conrad, while Conrad struggles with the fallout and his own feelings. Fans have expressed frustration with the episode's focus on Jeremiah's turmoil rather than Belly's storyline, criticizing his emotional immaturity and manipulative behavior, which contrasts with the earlier seasons where he was more likable. While Jeremiah was once a fan-favorite, his cheating scandals and lack of accountability in season 3 have led to widespread dislike, further intensified by some fans directing harsh criticism and bullying towards actor Gavin Casalegno. Despite the backlash against Jeremiah, some viewers and commentators urge for a more balanced view, acknowledging both the flaws in Jeremiah's character and the challenges Conrad faces, emphasizing that fan disputes should not cross into harassment. The season's developments suggest a potential reunion between Belly and Conrad, shifting the show's romantic dynamics as the finale approaches.
