Charley didn’t scream at Nova for not defending her to those Dj’s she was upset because Nova telling them not to victim blame Goldie could’ve been taken as Davis being guilty since it was coming from his wife’s sister someone the public would assume to know all the details.Charley at that point only believed Davis had consensual sex w/ Goldie twice and was not guilty of rape.
All three of the siblings were upset about the will reveal and none of them comforted each other only Aunt Vi did. Nova didn’t put her pain/anger aside to comfort Charley or Ralph so how is it a negative that Charley didn’t either. Nova can read everybody that’s a character trait of hers it’s not specific to her relationship w/ Charley she has read Ra & Aunt Vi moods to. Also the 4 times we’ve seen Nova comfort a distraught Charley they haven’t been times of Nova dropping anything for Charley specifically. Nova was already at the hospital when Charley ran in crying, she was already at the house because of the storm when she comforted Charley about the dead migrant workers, Charley showed up to her house after being caught kissing Remy by Micah she didn’t look busy then, and at the mill during Charley’s breakdown she was already there for the opening as a guest not having to drop anything to comfort her sister. Heck her showing up at Charley house last night wasn’t even her dropping anything she went after she did everything she had/wanted to do for the day.
The only time Nova has really defended Charley imo has been this season to Micah after she started the argument about Charley’s business plan in front of the whole family instead of pulling Charley to the side. Her defending Charley was her walking back some the shit that she said that Micah latched onto to use against his mother’s character.
I don’t see how Charley is self obsessed when she has been working to help her family and all the black farmers. She didn’t stay in run the farm for herself she uprooted herself and Micah to run the farm for a year because Ralph wanted to. She opened the mill not because she need a ego boost being the first black woman to do so but to give the black farmers a fair deal. She is only doing this takeover plan because she still wants to help the black farmers. Even though they put her in the position of almost losing her mill in the first place by listening to the Landry’s rumors. She has also been there for her family when asked she looked over Vi’s first pie contract, helped Nova (listed in previous post)and Ralph (paying him out of her pocket so he can work on the farm and meet his parole requirements)
Charley didn’t confide in Nova because the fewer people that know her plan the easier it will be for her plan to work. Remy only knows because he was working at the mill and was there when she first decided to take down the Landry’s. She only told Ralph her plan because if you remember at the end of last season she told him that she wanted him to mill with he Landry’s. Ralph probably wouldn’t have done it if she didn’t tell him the plan. Nova doesn’t own a part of the farm anymore ,doesn’t help run the day to day, and has no ownership in the mill so their wasn’t a reason for Charley to tell her the plan. Even if she wasn’t only telling the people who needed to know her plan and wanted to tell Nova to have someone to vent to she knows her sister well enough to know that Nova would have not agreed with her plan and lectured on how wrong she was to make that decision.
