I can see it from both sides.
Yes, Milena should have maybe spoke up sooner. And yes, she could have left on a better note in regards to this supposed unexpected email then no further conversation etc. Like Tolly and Audrey said, after so many years it is just respectful to have at least a face to face or at least phone conversation to end this or mediate it. I do think just an email with no warning etc was a bit distasteful from Milena. But we don’t know 100% what has gone on behind closed doors I guess, she may of had her reasonings for how she handled it.
Onto Tolly and Audrey. The way they spoke about the whole situation was also distasteful from them. I do feel that Audrey actually held herself quite well through the discussion and seemed to be quite calm and level headed towards it all. She had quite a fair approach to me. She didn’t bad mouth Milena, didn’t have an attitude and she seemed quite fair. However insinuating that she went into labour the day after MIGHT have had something to do with this was wild. She was due that week anyway.
Tolly however, I get she must be feeling a type of way. But there’s ways to address things without coming across as a
witch. She’s not a bully, she’s just outspoken and not afraid to speak up and that’s absolutely fine. But there’s a way to conduct yourself. And that discussion about Milena was NOT it. I also really didn’t like the comment she made about “I have my elders” as in - she has older family she can confide in about this. Knowing fine well that Milena doesn’t have a huge family nor does she speak to her parents etc. I might be reaching but that to me seemed a dig in the way she said it.
The whole thing is a massive shame for them all.
And I’m sorry to say, I get they probably all played a part and as we’ve established the way it’s been handled has been questionable from all of them. BUT - as much as she wants to deny and argue this - Tolly did bring this on. Period. She has had underlying weird un necessary beef with Milena for a LONG time and it’s been so clearly evident. I mean look on twitter, it is literally flooded with tweets saying that the beef Tolly had with Milena was clear for years. But yet she STILL wants to argue this. Literally 85% of the tweets I’ve read have said the same thing - these are all your listeners who HEARD it. How can you argue that
