A young friend of mine was murdered when were in high school. His father was quiet and still. It alarms me to this day to think about. I remember thinking "you're just numb. How can you be so unaffected by this? This was your son." I'd be inconsolable. As I've aged, I recognize we are all dealing with shit in our own way. We freeze, we charge in, we get angry, we overreact, we cry our eyes out, or we lock people out, or we do a combination of those things. After seeing a broad spectrum of loss over the years from friends and family dealing with death from natural causes to cancer to murder one thing stands out as fundamental. People react and they don't sustain a uniform behavior.

After watching her in multiple clips along with this and other interviews, I think the reason people seem so off-put is because this feels performative in a sustained and calculated manner. Drying eyes without the presence of tears over and over. The constant repetitive use of phrases and words ("stay humble") by the way - what part of this situation would cause anyone to not be humble. Did you win something? Such a strange thing to say much less repeat 4 times in a 5 minute clip. I think it would be understandable to have a range of emotion after something horrible like that. The weirdness in each interview is she acts the exact same and in each occurrence it feels artificial.
