Lol, Alaina may or may not be (or become) an alcoholic (lots of people that aren't sluts or bitches are), but her tweeting about drinking or partying is pretty run-of-the-mill and normal for a 19-year-old American girl. It's not "out of control" or crazy for a college age kid to be obsessed with getting drunk. It's new to her (relatively) and when you're young and it's still "illegal" (in the US it is, until you're 21, so it's the forbidden fruit element) it's more fun/exciting. She'll either outgrow the partying, or become an alcoholic, but her behavior right now seems perfectly typical. Nothing about her twitter indicates to me that she has an alcohol 'problem' beyond the one that I (and everyone else) had when I was her age (and I am FAR from an alcoholic, trust me). On the other hand, alcoholism runs in her family, so I guess she should be wary of that.
Also (and I know it's not really relevant, but)... she seems sweet enough on her twitter. I don't quite get where people are getting the idea that she is this cocky bitch. And she talks a lot about her male friends, and how she loves them, so I don't think she outright 'hates men'...
And as for Hailie, from what I've read here and there, and from the way she 'seems' (from a distance... just assuming things to a point, obviously), she is a more private/introverted person than Alaina (who it seems, and people say, is this bubbly, outgoing 'party girl'), but is sweet/funny/smart once you get to know her. Also, Ashley sometimes defends her, and says things like "she has my heart" and whatnot. I don't think she's say/think that sort of thing if she was this spoiled, tyrannical bitch. So the signs point to her being nice/normal, if a bit reserved (which some people will inevitably mistake as being stuck-up).
Also, Kim is her mom... if you watch those My Super Sweet 16 shows, the parents are always these huge pushovers... I can imagine Em sort of being like that (sort of), but I would imagine Kim wouldn't put up with rudeness or that sort of demanding diva behavior. She seems like she's the kind of mom that's good at setting boundaries.
Oh and I can't read Hailie's twitter either. I was just deducing what she must have said based on how Ashley replied to her.
And yes, I know this is basically all speculation and hearsay and basically irrelevant. But Idk. I don't see any evidence to think of either of them as spoiled brats or that they're going off the rails in any crazy way.
