basically (and there's loads of room for brainstorming) she and one other person were renting a place out temporarily before the pandemic hit and they ended up stuck there. with paranoia etc they ended up not leaving the house for weeks on end to do anything, they both had manic episodes and conducted really off kilter instagram lives together (think madonna mixed with those old men with 10 followers dancing to lana del rey kinds of tiktok videos) and fans were coming up with all kinds of conspiracy theories about what was going on with them. spoiler alert: ended with a grippy sock vacation but it was the kind of "moment" that had gen z constructing timelines of events insensitively speaking. they're still friends now and probably closer for it but they've taken the i pretend i do not see it approach in the public eye.
