I dunno what I want to take from that. The purpose of that call was clearly to thank staff at TPUSA, and give some info and smooth some friction as a business leader, not turn it into a group therapy session and make it all about her. I'd be glad if more women could just keep their shit together for 5 minutes to get a job done when necessary. So I don't want to shit on someone if they're doing just that.

It's possible to laugh briefly even when grieving, hell it can make you laugh at weird things you wouldn't normally if you're the kind of person who gets nervous laughter, so that's not proof of anything. And I could probably pull off 90% of that call calmly too if it's a job that needs doing.

But that last 10% man, it's a little creepy. If my wife was murdered in front of me 11 days ago I could not do a calm and airy "My husband's dead, not to be morbid but he is.". That would make me crack. I'd have to avoid saying something so blunt if I didn't want to sound emotional, otherwise it'd be obvious fury or grief no doubt about it. So either all the beauty pageant bullshit has given her a hell of a poker face, or she didn't lose a real loved one so much as a cohabiting business partner.

But tbh being in beauty pageants training you to be very good at putting on a fake smile does seem like a pretty plausible explanation.
