***Note: This page contains information about Justin Foley and his Netflix Adaptaiton as his book doesn't have sufficient information about him being a Fallen Hero whom the Netflix Adaptaiton does. Meaning information about his Netflix incarnation should be onto here instead.***

**Justin Foley** is one of the secondary antagonists turned anti-heroic deuteragonist turned minor pivotal antagonist for the Netflix adaptation of *13 Reasons Why*.

He was once a friend of Hannah Baker and a love interest. He eventually wanted to hide a lot of secrets which he eventually decided enough was enough and tries to te Jessica the truth. This causes Jessica and Justin to cut ties and Justin tries testify as a witness. He also tries to stop Clay from murdering Bryce while he also blackmails Bryce to never tell anyone. He eventually is with Jessica for a while until he decides to get clean and sober. Jessica chooses to be with Charlie and then eventually Diego as a way to make Justin jealous which leads to some rivalries going on. And Justin eventually got fired from Montee's after stealing and eventually steals from Clay's parents and started using again. He eventually meets Jessica at the dance and then faints and gets to the hospital slowly dying and saying to Clay that he loves him.

### Debated Validations

* His criminal history top along his villainy for the start would make him look somewhat more like a redeemed villain, and a potential anti-hero instead. However, when he started to be heroic since the second season most notable he did fall down into villainy many times.
* He could be an anti-hero since the second and third chapter. But, overall his morals are incredibly questionable. Ranging from him plotting with his friends to kidnap Clay, him attempting to even murder Clay, stealing from his parents, blackmailing Bryce, and merely attempting to murder Seth. (Although, the rivalry is somewhat justifiable since Seth isn't really a nice person.)
* Justin to an extent has has genuine about his friends and even Clay and kept an eye out for him. However, letting Clay's parents believe that he was the one using and doing drugs seems to contradict such in a sense. Especially with how he treated Clay earlier on and the trouble that Clay got into somewhat because of Justin. Especially with letting Clay get accused for doing drugs.
* He fights against law enforcement due to discrimination with how a Police arrested Diego Torres in a discriminative way and even pulled a gun on him and Diego. That part is reasonable since what the Police Officer did was incredibly wrong. However, the fact that Justin and the others take it a bit too far fighting against SWAT Team and get not just himself but others into trouble shows how somewhat hypocritical he and the team are.

## What made him heroic?

* He was once friends with those at Liberty and did a lot of parties back then.
* He tried to testify as a witness against Bryce raping Jessica and somewhat succeeded.
* He and many others gave Clay a hug as he was grieving about the death of Hannah.
* He shows genuine concern with Clay's crazy action with trying to warn Jensen about Tyler and what he was going to do at the dance.
* Justin was looking out for Tyler many times during Season 3-4.
* Although, Justin and the others frames Montgomery de la Cruz for the homicide of Bryce when in actuality it was Alex Standall. We do know that Bryce and Monty were never actually good nor innocent to begin with.
* Justin has shown concern for Clay's well being as he looked out for him and tried to stop Clay from getting into a fight with another student at a party.

## What made him villainous?

* He unintentionally let Bryce rape Jessica. Although, Justin did try to stop him and Bryce pushed Justin to the ground and locked the door.
* He may have been one of the culprits who threw a rock at Tyler's window. Although, this isn't fully confirmed the holes around the rock may say otherwise.
* He did a lot of drug dealing back then.
* He plotted to kill Clay Jensen many times and to the very least scared him. Such as with him. Zach and Alex stealing Clay's bike and kidnapping Clay and getting Alex to drive really fast scaring Clay.
* He instigated a fight with Bryce and Monty which led to others fighting as well.
* In season 1-3 Justin had tried to kill Bryce and threatens to do so when Bryce no longer posed as a threat anymore.
* Justin let Clay get accused for doing drugs. Although, he later confessed about what he did and him stealing from a restaurant he worked at and stealing from Clay's parents.
* He chose to still fight Diego and had instigated a riot at Liberty. Which caused students to fight and destroy property. Most notable culprits who did such things were Alex and Zach who smashed windows and evaded law enforcement and how Zach tried to swing at Police officers with a Bat, and Clay who tried to light up a car.
