It was pretty ****ing spiteful. Brenda actively created a scenario that combined all of Dawn's worst nightmares all rolled into one: being hated by someone she likes, being verbally tarnished in a public forum with a full audience, and having her insecurities about her appearance exposed for everyone to see. It was completely calculated and premeditated, and Brenda pretty much gleefully put Dawn in a catch-22 -- either humiliate yourself and take out your teeth or refuse to do so and get called a liar. I just think it's kind of scummy of Brenda to exploit all of Dawn's insecurities like that.

And no, I'm not saying that Brenda has no right to be upset. My main gripe is just that the way she went about airing her beef is completely contradictory of the character that she tried to put on, Humble Sweetheart Brenda who is actually so humble that she'll move herself to tears talking about her own humility! I think there's a huge difference between someone like Trish, who felt betrayed and was hurt and used her jury speech to let Tony know just how much her feelings her hurt and why, and someone like Brenda, who just wanted to embarrass and humiliate Dawn as some sort of payback. I don't think anyone faults Brenda for being upset and hurt, I just fault her for how she chose to use her jury question.
