this question, "Well, you're right. Naturally, I would take my sister's side if she is right. But she isn't What she did was wrong, and I'm a person who believes in fairness. Michael didn't deserve to be treated that way. We also saw how much he cared for her and loved her. She is my sister and we used to be really close, but I just couldn't take her side.
