Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustard" data-source="post: 360784" data-attributes="member: 46">At the time, J.R. had a lot more on his plate than Holly Harwood.Yes, exactly that, and Donna is smart and will stand up for herself. She'll defend her own territory against J.R. like Pam or Bobby would. People like this in real life will "get away" with more things against powerful people, because the powerful people realize that they have to pick their battles with people like Donna (i.e. for the serious things that really, really matter). But those people who always back down or don't have any resources to fight, they will get punished for even the slightest transgression against the powerful. Valene would fight, but didn't have much resources when she was like 17, and Valene's presence at Southfork was a severe crisis for J.R. anyway, bad enough that J.R. felt compelled to get rid of her as soon as possible using all means at his disposal.</blockquote>
