She was just doing her job, trying to set up an interview, and he goes up on stage and makes all those comments about her in front of all those people. Of course she's gonna respond after that. Given her position, I'm actually surprised at how nuanced and considerate her piece is. She doesn't outright condemn every part of him, just calls bullshit on the way he uses his gimmicky "provocative" antics to deflect any criticism of his shitty behavior.
I mean, there's pretty much no way to twist his comments into something that is even remotely defensible, nor to find fault with her for defending herself against his bullshit.
