God the story around Taryn and what she went through is just
bleeping heartbreaking!
I can understand why Constance felt she had to speak out, although man I will say the comments are a bit of a
tit show. With an audience as large as Constance has, there's obviously now hundreds of her fans who are weighing in. And again fair enough, as a topic in general it's something a lot of people seemed to have experience with, but now with others commenting in defense of the kids' dad, or Taryn's close friends expressing that they aren't stoked with the post, C's fans are literally calling these friends dickheads. What a mess. I'm not attacking anyone (Constance nor those who also knew Taryn who are commenting) because they're all grieving, but
tit. Such a sad situation in so many ways. I just hope her children can be shielded, as some commenting have already said.
I watched her memorial online as the link was shared very widely encouraging people to tune in and we had a mutual friend, and honestly I'm kind of weird and find it comforting to watch very public memorial videos after losing two friends quite young, one who had a very high profile death where we all were forced to grieve in the public arena. I just say that so I don't seem like some parasocial weirdo lol. I'm still a weirdo, just one who comes from a place of similar experience - but I never would've even mentioned that if not for this, and only on Tattle (cos nothing
people me more than people who jump on a bandwagon when someone they didn't know dies, it happens hella often).
Anyway, it reminds me of something Sharyn Casey said in her speech cos she MC'd the memorial - about how apparently Taryn had made a request that people move forward together in unity - which took me aback at the time, but makes sense with what's coming out
