My best friend Christine (30F) started dating a man name Cory (27M) a few months ago and fell head over heels for him. They spent a lot of time with each other and had many talks about making things official. She seemed very excited about him and all was well as far as we knew.
Last Saturday I was out at the bar with Christine and my friend Miranda (26F) showed up for a few drinks. Christine was blissfully unaware and kept talking about how amazing Cory was and that they were thinking about making things official. Fast forward to the end of the night Miranda decides to show Christine a message on her phone and its a message from Cory. It was closing time and he had hit her up to “hook up” so she decided to show Christine the messages. Christine absolutely lost it, she was very emotional and started crying. To say she was blindsided was an understatement.
Miranda proceeds to hug her and tell her that she can do better, that she’s known Cory since high school and that he has always been a player. She proceeds to tell her that he’s been talking to other girls and they just casually hook up every now and then but that’s it. We all proceed to go to a late night burger joint and Christine continues to cry and be upset about the situation and Miranda continues to hug her and tell her that she can do better, that she is beautiful and any man would want her, etc.
Christine told me that the next day Miranda continued to message her and send her videos about self worth, moving on, telling her how much better off she would be, etc,. Christine realizes that Cory was blocked on her Snapchat the next day which she hadn’t done. Miranda had asked Christine for her phone to “play music” and Miranda proceeded to block Cory from Christine’s phone without telling anyone. Christine decides to confront her about it and starts to point out she did all of this to be selfish, Especially since they were about to make things official.
I found out a few days after that Miranda went home to her apartment and still had Cory over and slept with him that SAME NIGHT after hugging a very upset and crying Christine for the past few hours and consoling her. It was almost unbelievable. Especially since she had been messaging Christine trying to be her friend.
I went to confront her a week later and she kept making excuses saying “You know I don’t have respect for myself, you know I don’t have any self worth” and that she needed counseling as some sort of excuse for being an awful person. She also made it a point to say that Christine was MY friend and not HERS and she didn’t owe Christine anything.
The whole situation SCREAMS mean girl energy and I can’t wrap my mind around would awful Miranda treated Christine. There was never any beef between them before, they were always cordial and had each other on socials because they had me as a mutual friend. Am I overreacting if I decide to cutoff my friendship with Miranda over this. Or would I be crazy about trying to keep these friendships separate? I’ve been friends with Miranda for 8 years and Christine 3 years so it’s hard for me to let this friendship go after so long.
TL;DR My best friend Miranda decided to sleep with Cory after consoling my other friend Christine about being heartbroken over Cory the same night.

I would always be suspicious if she will do the same to me. So I think you are absolutely not overreacting..
You are not overreacting. Some people may say ‘it isn’t your business’ but ultimately, we are the company we keep and you are valid to not want to associate with a two faced liar like Miranda.
