Of the few tweets or news stories I saw (maybe a total of 5?) I was thinking they were calling her a ‘hero’ due to being open about her withdrawal from her events or program or whatever it’s called from what sounded like a mental health issue.
I don’t know that I would label her a ‘hero’ either, but I could see considering it brave to have done so. Both because of the stigma still attached to mental health issues, and also for disappointing a lot of people. It would have been much easier to have blamed a medical issue for dropping out.
Of course, that’s assuming it was a mental health issue. Everyone will have to decide for themselves what they believe.
“I don’t know that I would label her a ‘hero’ either, but I could see considering it brave to have done so.”
It is as if they don’t know what a REAL hero is anymore.
