Annoying who shames someone in that manner generally does it because they're immature and insecure so instead of working on themselves they try to gain validation by bringing otters down. Pretty pathetic isn't it.

It's all about image, ego as well as a competition between women unfortunately! Dishing out insults like this to one another is a way of showing their dominance and boosting self esteem!
