People often overlook the times she stood up to him.
She was fairly aggressive on Rooster more than once, telling him not to report MC‘s posts and saying he needs to leave her friends alone.
She also calls him out after their first date for posting the hearts picture. Comments during the date at her house about how Tybalt would just get someone else to lie for him makes me, personally, think it isn’t that Jill likes or tolerates him it’s that she tries to fight other peoples battles constantly and finds herself doing stupid shit. The absurdity of the blackmail just makes anyone not immediately laughing in his face almost inherently a push over. By taking him seriously she comes across as a naive or even tolerant of his cartoonishly over the top personality.
Had the blackmail been better executed by DPC I can see Jill’s personality being a bit more consistent. I saw her as someone who fights other peoples battles (taking the MC home after the fight, reporting Chad, intervening with Tybalt… even her first interaction with the MC) and gets involved in other peoples problems even when she’s zero help, or even a hinderance.
She doesn’t like or tolerate Tybalt. She throws herself between MC and Tybalt and makes a tit of herself trying to smooth things over when she doesn’t really even understand what’s going on… so she says yes to basically everything Tybalt says thinking it will help.
everything is fine except the last part
it's clear that Jill trusts Tybalt enough, otherwise she would have at least had a chat with Trent (who, according to Tybalt's account, is the most inflexible in his intentions to denounce MC). instead, she accepts everything, takes days to talk about it with MC (but having already decided to submit to blackmail) and begins to open her eyes only when Bella (a week after the blackmail) screams at her about everything...
if Tybalt had played his cards better, limiting himself to the truth (sabotaged fundraiser and damage to the Preps' house), without waving the useless threat of denunciation, he would have surely put MC at the door and increased his chances with Jill. instead, he has embellished his story so much that he makes MC look innocent, when in fact he is not innocent at all
secondly, I don't like Jill's reaction to the threat of a lawsuit and I don't find it coherent. She decides to cover up for MC, regardless of innocence or guilt, a "mafia" behaviour that in my opinion doesn't suit Jill who wanted to denounce Chad despite the fact that this could put MC in "physical" danger. But this is purely a personal opinion on the idea I had/have of Jill.
