Controversies

  • Shane relationship: Many fans expressed a great hatred of Lori because of the timing of her relationship with Shane, they interpreted it as cheating on her husband.[2] Although, some point to this as an example of misogyny within the fandom because all the fan rage was directed at Lori and not Shane.[3]
