Not quite shade, but...There's something off about the tone.

| There’s a paywall so I can’t read it, but I will say that she did her level best to become famous as her husband lay dying and has continued grasping ever since. She deserves all the shade she gets. |
Something about her strikes me as almost *too* positive to the point that it's grating. I would feel this nway regardless of her personal life. Her "brand' cloys at me. |
| Only the NYT would think 50K Insta followers is "small." It seems like an honest portrait to me by acknowledging what she's lost and gained. She needs a salary - she's a new mom with a new house (i.e. mortgage) and no partner. |

She just posted about how she was "not a good wife"

Continuing to profit from his illness and death means that she’s still not a good wife. |
In the first paragraph maybe, but it seems fine after that. If anything, she seems like she's being very honest and quite hard on herself about her lack of support for his music. And I'd really rather not just a single mom hustling to make a living and processing a terrible trauma. |
But perhaps a good mother. She no longer has a husband and is in a notoriously unstable industry. If she needs the cash to support her child, who are we to criticize her? |
*judge |
| She's making lemonade. Good for her for getting herself together and making a career to support her child. |
OMG you have no empathy. Sharing their story and her regrets is normal. I think she was a fine wife. It's difficult being married to an artist. |
She was doing this well before she knew he was going to pass away. Relentless social media updates showing her dancing “to relieve stress” while he was in the hospital, constant magazine profiles... she was looking to profit off of the fact that he was a moderately well known Broadway performer who was not doing well. Today she has to sell us the story that she wasn’t a good wife. She’ll come up with something else tomorrow. If my partner ever tried to publicize and profit off of my lingering decline and death, I would hope that someone would tell him to show me a little respect and quit with the tears for dollars. |
| She and I are from the same area. I say good for her. She was dealt a rough hand. |
And I would say the opposite - if my partner had to go through that and I ended up dead, they can do whatever makes them happy and secure and supports our kids. You sound self-obsessed. |
