adjective
1. characterized by or involving indiscriminate mingling or association, especially having sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis.

3. indiscriminate; without discrimination.
4. casual; irregular; haphazard.
IMO, Juliette meets definition 2 of "whore" by her her fornication with Renard and Kenneth. She meets definition 1 of "promiscuous" because she fornicated both Renard and Kenneth.
New Guy, you are interpreting this definition incorrectly. Juliette does not meet the definition of a whore as noted in 2.
Her hookups with Renard and Kenneth were not brought together without order. There was order to them.
She went to Renard initially for help, then went back to him for a place to stay. She slept with him.
Later, she was approached by Kenneth to help secure Diana. Once Diana was secured, she was going with the royals. She slept with Kenneth. No one knows for sure whether their association would be more than a permanent one. What we do know is that there was an order to Juliette sleeping with Kenneth.
She is not a whore by virtue of the very definition you quoted.
As a matter of fact, neither Renard or Kenneth are whores either. Renard worked with Adalind and ended up in a relationship with her. Renard also worked with Rachel and ended up in a relationship with her.
Kenneth approached Juliette and as a result of their working together, they slept together.
All were logical progressions of what could turn out to be or just as easily turn out not to be relationships. That does not make the people who get into these relationships whores.
In post #4 of this thread, I provided two definitions "Whore" and "Promiscuous."
Why are you examining the promiscuous definition to support your position about her being a whore? Are you confused?
She is a whore because she is a person who is sexually promiscuous.
To repeat my post, she meets definition 1 of "promiscuous" because she fornicated both Renard and Kenneth. Depending on your time frame, you could also count Nick as another of her partners in fornication. Spurning Nick's marriage proposal makes their fornication also casual. Three casual fornication partners makes her categorically a Whore.
I'm not a fan of these kinds of threads that are too liberal in shaming and degrading women when men aren't given the same treatment. It's reeks of sexism, intended or not.
