Paige Sheppard

Do you think there was external pressure put on her, or was that pressure internalized? Like, 'cause I could see a lot of, you know, some people can handle that type of stardom young.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levione handled it gracefully, right? We're seeing Blaire Bartlett, Leah Starkey, Paige Sheppard, just to name a few young ladies that are handling that type of situation where they are b- doing things that akin, not as good as Mary, 'cause Mary was something we've never seen, and then Katelyn Tuohy came and it was very similar, but we can even mention Katelyn Tuohy.

These are young ladies that have handled similar situations, and, uh, we've talked to Paige Sheppard, and we, you know, uh, uh, Leah is coached by one of my good friends, and none of them seem to have this current issue that we saw Mary have that we're, you know, in the book.

So do you think from just your experience, was that internal pressure that she was putting on herself that maybe caused a lot of this friction? Was there something else around her causing this?

I think it could be both.
