"Exactly! The person she

copied from must be so fed up. Yvette publicly said she'd apologize, but when it came time, she cried like she was being bullied." "She's just pulling a a pity card. Does she really think we're that gullible? Cry a little, and the public will take her side? She really thinks she is wronged."
