In defense of the FL, I wanna point out that anyone would have their head messed up from what they had seen. It's, like, something that would confuse them and would make them have doubts. Give her a day, and she could end up calming down and talk things out like a grown-up. But due to the article being published under her name by someone, she basically got a sudden media backlash almost immediately, which did not help one bit. And when her boss tried to come help, he got caught in an accident, which only further damaged her psyche.
She's not in the right state of mind. She has had no chance to actually calm down, and instead, all her negative emotions are just swirling in her head like a vortex. She can hardly see left from right at this point and cannot separate information properly. She can't process anything.
It's basically all happening too fast.
