There’s a lot of dodging and shifting throughout this public display so ‘the facts’ really aren’t being presented, all are attempting to put their best foot forward...exactly as they do on their program.
Unfortunately the family is behaving as if they’ve been victimized when in fact ‘they have chosen’ to air their laundry on the lines of the national and International media....good, bad or otherwise it’s out their by decisions they have made to do so.
