12 Worst Things That Ever Happened To BoJack Horseman
5. He Was Manipulated By Angela Diaz
Though it was the first acting job he ever got in Hollywood, 'Horsin’ Around' made BoJack Horseman a star. As a tandem with his best friend Herb in the director’s chair, the show was unstoppable. Until Herb’s name made it into the media in a manner the studio didn’t like.
He was outed as being gay, and since Angela Diaz was trying to sell the show to Disney, she didn’t like the image the publicity gave off. She wanted to fire Herb, but knew that she needed BoJack to stay, and that he wouldn’t let it happen.
She manipulated her star into thinking he had no choice but to cut ties with Herb. It was BoJack who held all the power in the show, but she manipulated him into thinking that if he stood up for Herb then he would be fired too, and the entire thing would collapse. He ultimately bent to her will, and let her fire his best friend.
She was bluffing, but BoJack bought the deception. In the future he would look back on this moment as a turning point in his life. The first real sh*tty thing he did, all thanks to Angela’s manipulation.
