She never actually mentioned what was wrong with the child.. she did however love all the well wishes for her and the flowers she got ..
Yes, a quadruple whammy was achieved. I strongly believe the event was overexaggerated and staged after a few too many drinks on a Sunday evening when panic mode set in. There were lots of events that would have triggered her.
1) She had got backlash from the industry on a post where she told falsehoods about running - This achieved recieving sympathy from her having a sick child. Black and white photo used for maximum impact.
2) She implied that her co-parent was unhelpful at the time and she had to do everything alone - This achieved the goal of making it look like she is the superior parent and the child has an absent father.
3) Her best frenemy Sinead Heg launched a business and was receiving lots of attention and congratulations- Can't be having that, this achieved the goals of grabbing attention from mutual followers and put in back on Siobhan - I produce exhibit A titled "passportgate" for precedent of sabotage on Sinead Heg
4) likely disrupted the child's fathers weekend away. She used maximum effect to make him feel guilty. - This achieved the goal.in Siobhans head of "if I can't have him - no one can".
