And that criticism is so ridiculous it went to the mainstream media. She didn't seem considerate either. I mean if I notice a lot of riots out there, the first thing I'd do is stay in one place just so the riot can be in that one place, not moving. Sometimes it sucks to be famous.
Okay I get it now ^^; Yeah the media can be a *****, but it's not like they haven't twisted situations involving her before. Since the "quote" came from a tabloid, I wouldn't put too much weight on it. They've twisted this whole thing way out of proportion, even to the point we still discuss it way after she's been cleared lol.

Like I said, it's not her job to notice those things. She may have attracted fans while walking around and tipped people off that she was going to be at the event so maybe some fans followed and others went to the event to wait for her. But I highly doubt 8,000 people, or even anywhere close to that amount, followed her from store to store. Because if that were the case, they would have shut the whole thing down, no?

And when she got to the event, it's not like people were burning down buildings and spray painting "HAIL AYU" all over the place. She saw fans, they saw her, everyone went home happy (and safely) until the authorities decided to come into the mix. Since there were no problems, she probably thought everything went according to plan. If there were too many people, the police should have done their job then and handled it and not ***** about it later. That's just my opinion.

I see where you're coming from, but I just think if none of this "permission" bull was brought up, we wouldn't be discussing this as furiously as we had before. I mean we knew 8,000 showed up then, we know it know. The only difference is, now we know that was too many people for that area and it's not her fault lol.
