What about when Vanderbuilts son committed suicide? Did that bring her out of the shadows?
That was in 1989 so I don't think that was it.
If the person alluded to in the blind item is GV, my suspicion is the book and documentary were to get ahead of something about to be revealed regarding herself or her family.
I am really only guessing but GV was really out of the public eye for a long time then suddenly she is on a host of talk shows with Anderson Cooper. Why at 92?
Also, why was this article released on Monday, January 21, 2019? The timing of this with the blind item is interesting to me.
