You know what, I have real trouble believing that such a conversation ever took place anywhere, except in your mind.
And even if it did, what do you care? You asked her why she was crying and she gave you an answer. From how it sounds like, she got her shit figured out pretty well. He was on the tele, he was involved in a movie she liked, so she is upset by his death. She even acknowledges that this is the only reason why she is upset and doesn´t make up some bullshit to justify her emotional reaction.
You know what actually DOES make my slightly angry ?
People misrepresenting or inventing conversations with people in their lives, just so they can knock a strawman over and look smart on the internet.
Also people, who forgo using capitalization (I mean seriously, the entire op consists of you claiming the intellectual high-ground over someone. Would it kill you to at least TRY to produce a post that actually makes you look somewhat smart-ish ?)
