Can we also appreciate B’s sophistication when stating how the situation of her diagnosis being outed unfolded? She just said, “You know, things happen, and it came out,” and idk but that’s really interesting to me. She didn’t go on and on about how much that hurt her—as entitled to do so as she is—nor did she specify how it happened in the first place, which would have involved discussing the cruelty rallied against her all these months. She simply swept over it and focused on the larger idea, which was that it came out regardless and she had to confront it in some way.
I obviously understand the hazards of her speaking about Alice or the rest of the nightmare in any way, shape, or form, so yeah, she never would have mentioned Alice, but the way she glossed over it made it sound so casual and insignificant, and I guess it takes a lot of self-restraint to do that, to make something so serious seem so trivial. I do hope she has actually begun to deem it trivial/isn’t constantly pretending it’s nothing, as that would be emotional suppression, but anyway. She knows how to talk to a camera without giving Alice fodder for another outburst. (One is coming anyway, but that’s on Alice.)
She got class and she got self-control.
