Cat Missal, the star of Hulu's "Tell Me Lies," has made a name for herself playing Bree, a complex character who finds herself in increasingly anxiety-inducing situations. From befriending an 18-year-old freshman to sabotaging her own mother's night out with her boyfriend, Bree's actions are often questionable and lead to more drama.
In the show's seventh episode, Bree's relationship with Evan reaches new heights of tension when he gets her mom drunk ahead of her photography exhibit. The evening quickly turns chaotic, but Bree remains oblivious to the sabotage until she stumbles upon incriminating Facebook posts that reveal Evan cheated on her with a freshman named Lucy.
In an exclusive interview with Variety, Missal discussed Bree's character and the latest episode, saying, "She's kind of a villain in my eyes." When asked if Bree would have cared about Lucy's betrayal if another cheating scandal hadn't occurred, Missal replied that she wouldn't have been in as big a spiral. The actress believes Bree has a moral compass but doesn't know how to use it due to her limited friendships and inability to navigate relationships.
Missal also discussed the dynamic between Bree and Evan, saying that she thinks he's convinced himself they're just friends. However, Missal disagrees, calling Bree "a lost little puppy" who continues to play games with those around her.
As for the finale script, Missal described it as jaw-dropping and said people will lose their minds when they see what happens next. When asked about Bree's friendships, which are limited due to her lack of social connections outside of a few toxic relationships, Missal joked that this is why she often finds herself back with Evan.
Throughout the interview, Missal emphasized Bree's flaws and imperfections, saying, "She's got all these big problems, but she's also got a lot of good qualities. I think that's what makes her so fascinating." Despite her questionable actions, Missal believes Bree is a complex character who will continue to captivate audiences with her antics.
Missal also touched on the theme of manipulation in relationships, saying Evan uses Lucy as a way to get back at Bree for cheating on him. When asked if Bree would have ended things with Evan if she had known about his sabotage, Missal replied that it's unlikely, but she wouldn't be surprised if she continued to stay in the relationship due to her inability to operate in certain situations.
Ultimately, Cat Missal's portrayal of Bree has left audiences divided, but one thing is clear: this character is a force to be reckoned with.

. Like, is this character for real? She's got some major issues and is willing to sabotage her friends and family just to get attention... it's a bit too much for me.
. I think he's a master manipulator, using his charm to control people like Bree. And what's up with this theme of manipulation in relationships? It sounds way too familiar to my own experiences... anyway, I'll probably watch the finale and see what all the fuss is about, but I'm not holding my breath 
. It's like she's this complex, multi-layered person who can be both infuriating and sympathetic at the same time.
. That really captures her essence, don't you think? Like, she's this person who is trying to navigate relationships and friendships, but she doesn't quite know how to do it right 
. And that's what makes her so captivating.
. It's not always easy to watch, but it's definitely a relevant topic that we can all relate to in some way.
. Will Bree continue to make questionable decisions? Will Evan come clean about his cheating scandal? One thing's for sure: this show is going to keep us on the edge of our seats 
.
. Like, who gets their significant other drunk and then tries to sabotage their life? And Missal's right, Bree is kinda a villain in her own mind 
she's so complex and flawed at the same time it's hard to look away from her mess... i mean i get why cat missal says bree has good qualities but like where is that moral compass when ur cheating on someone? 
and then there's Lucy, who's basically just a pawn in his game of revenge... anyway, I'm hyped for that finale script – it sounds like it's gonna be wild!
I'm shipping their toxic relationship for days 
. I think she's right, Bree's got some major flaws, but at the same time, she's also super relatable? Like, who hasn't been in a toxic relationship or played games with people around them? 
. I'm here for more drama in this show 
! But what really got me was Missal's point about manipulation in relationships. It's like, we all know our partners are trying to get back at us, but do we ever admit it? 
. Can't wait for more of Bree's antics and drama-filled life 
.
i'm literally shakin in my boots, Cat Missal just dropped some tea on Bree's dynamic w Evan and i am HERE FOR IT 
can't wait to see how it all goes down!!! 
. The dynamic between Missal and the show's creators must be so inspiring to watch 
.
! The finale script sounds jaw-dropping, and I'm sure fans will lose their minds when they find out 
. It's like she's some kinda toxic vortex who just pulls people in and then discards them like they're nothing. I mean, Evan's got no idea what he's dealing with – that girl's a master manipulator! And yet, at the same time, you can't help but feel bad for her? Like, she's got all these flaws and issues, but she's also super relatable? It's like, we've all been there, right? 
She's got some serious issues, from sabotaging her own mom's night out to being super insecure about Evan's cheating ways. But at the same time, you can't help but feel bad for her 'cause she just doesn't know how to deal with her emotions and relationships 
. And the way Evan manipulates her with Lucy? Yeah, that's some messed up stuff 
. And I'm HERE for her moral compass being super limited due to her lack of social connections outside of toxic relationships 
. It's like, we're all guilty of playing games with people around us, but Bree does it on a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL 
. And Missal is SO RIGHT, I wouldn't be surprised if Bree continued to stay in that toxic relationship due to her inability to operate in certain situations 
, playing up Bree's toxic side for maximum effect 
... and I'm still not convinced this show isn't just glorifying toxic behavior 
. I'm loving how complex her character is - we get it, she's got some major flaws, but that's what makes her so intriguing 
. With a reported 95% satisfaction rate among viewers and an average rating of 4.5/5 on Hulu, it's clear that this show is here to stay 
.
