12 Worst Things That Ever Happened To BoJack Horseman
4. He Found Out He Was Manipulated By Angela Diaz
When BoJack turned his back on Herb, and let him be fired without a fight in favour of saving the show, he lost his best friend. He didn’t call him for the next 20 years out of guilt, and when he finally did try to make amends, Herb wouldn’t accept his apology.
What was arguably worse than BoJack being manipulated by Angela Diaz into such a betrayal was when he found out that he was manipulated. It wasn’t until he was sober, with his life in ruins thanks to the details of Sarah-Lynn’s death coming out that he found out the truth.
He didn’t have to betray Herb, and the news that Angela was bluffing sent him into a tailspin. He got blind drunk after almost a year of sobriety, he broke into his old house, something that would ultimately land him 14 months in prison, and he called Diane to tell her he didn’t think she cared about him.
This in turn sent Diane, who was in the healthiest mindset she had ever been in, into a downward spiral that saw her back out of moving to Houston with Guy. She eventually reunited with her eventual husband, but this was the last straw in her and BoJack’s friendship.
