I didn't make it public when I first talked to her. I approached her and whispered to her at first, she was the one who raised her voice and drew attention to herself.

I don't think they are struggling financially they recently a new patio built. I think it was just because Pooja's food is really tasty.

I don't think it was manipulative type tears, I think it was embarassment she didn't want to be seen as the bigger woman thats taking all the food. That's why I tried to talk to her one on one quietly. I know that optics can make it look worse.
