"The Summer I Turned Pretty" Stars Lola Tung and Rain Spencer Address Fan "Ring Slander" Controversy

SYDNEY, Australia – Actors Lola Tung and Rain Spencer, known for their roles as Belly and Taylor in the popular series "The Summer I Turned Pretty," recently weighed in on the fervent fan reactions to Belly's engagement ring in the show. The discussion centered on online critiques regarding the ring's perceived small size and gold color, contrasting with the character Belly's typical preference for silver jewelry. During an interview, Lola Tung, who portrays Belly, defended the fictional character Jeremiah's choice. "Jeremiah was trying to be a little smart, buying a ring that wasn't crazy expensive and putting his dad further in debt," Tung stated. She added, "He knows Belly very well and knows her style, and I think it's a very practical ring and very beautiful and simple." Rain Spencer, who plays Taylor, also offered a perspective on the fan backlash. "I think Jenny brings up a good point, if he were to buy a huge ring, he'd also like get 'why'd you do that?'" Spencer commented, suggesting that Jeremiah might have faced criticism regardless of the ring's characteristics. The actors' comments highlight the passionate engagement of the series' fanbase, who meticulously analyze every detail of the beloved characters' storylines.
