But sadly, her video, along with others, was created to convince others that the lifestyle and company was all peaches and cream. Most promotional videos do that of course. But her video may have been the tipping point for people to upend their lives and their families lives. And that is the point some are attempting to make here, IMHO.

I, of course, don't blame her for moving to that greener pasture. Lucky her. But isn't it just a bit hypocritical to leave so soon after being the "face" of EK, being in Hollywood on the Ellen show, and expressing her view that EK afforded her a luxurious lifestyle? A stretch here, but didn't we just see the exit of a small little man, who for his entire career, including BA, only was in it for himself? Parallels can be made.

And how is this any different than what our old friend, Capt. America, did? I know of one bloke whose tipping decision was based on C.A's article in the WSJ. And no one defended him, even before Tartan Guy tried to. Another story. Must be the difference between grey hair and flowing blonde tresses.
