Her strength and integrity are remarkable.

While I hate that she is being asked about the actions and behaviors of her former husband, actions and behaviors she is not responsible for at all, and I am truly saddened that she was caused such personal harm, I have tremendous respect for how she keeps the focus on the victims.
