Statement of Reid’s representative
Reid felt blindsided, according to Reid’s representative, who later remarked on what happened.
“Tara is a positive individual who opposes women criticizing one another.

When Sharknado 4 should have been the main topic of discussion, Jenny’s attempt to divert attention for her advantage was regrettable,”
