I'm not going to stick up for my unpopular friend.
Why is she unpopular?
She likes low-brow reality television shows.
Being a friend means sticking up for them, even if they're unpopular.
I don't need to be a friend for that cunt, who gives a shit about her. She deserves to be unpopular.
It seems that you don't consider her to be your friend. If that's the case, then stop being her friend instead of lying to her.
