great to see n hear her talk about this. love the music

[@feedbackdef]

Agreed on both counts! Thanks for watching, and for chiming-in.

[@troygaspard6732]

I will look for her book.

[@feedbackdef]

You should! Great read (and listen).

[@rikcosham5927]

I will look for her book, too: I didn't know Chris took his life.

[@feedbackdef]

@@rikcosham5927 WELL worth the read/listen, I say.

[@highbury1972]

A Hard topic to address, I feel the better option would be to express that Chris was well loved and nobody can explain what happened. It looked like she lacked empathy at that moment during your interview. We always ask ourselves why. Does she visit Chris‘s grave and is she still in touch with his family?

She just comes across like a not particularly nice person here, laughing and saying "well me and loads of other people had gone through the exact same stuff, so it doesn't make sense, I would never have done that". She's missing a few bits and peices of basic empathy and understanding of other people. "your girlfriend dumped you, but you only knew her for a year and you were away for most of the year". She just has no idea or insight. Awful to listen to her. She sounds like a child. "i'm ok, why can't people be more like me?!

[@TheOtherKine]

She's always been psychotic LMAO she's always been a bit too scientific in the way she thought of things, lets put it that way, really analytical about everything to a fault

[@feedbackdef]

Thanks for watching. I hear you, but I think what she was saying was as someone who'd known Chris intimately for about a decade at that point, that it was shocking based on the precedent of his previous reactions. She mentions in the interview how, down to a person, everyone was shocked, that it was the last person any of the people in his circle would have guessed -- and not just her. I think when you're that familiar with someone you tend to be less gentle in your assessments. Not to mention the fact that suicide leaves the survivors feeling angry and left behind, like "what reason would you have for taking yourself away from us?" I mean, yeah, a relationship of just a year can totally leave someone feeling so injured that they feel inclined to take their own life, but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that what she was saying was "it wasn't like Chris to respond that way."

Berenyi has shown classic narcissism throughout her entire career in the limelight. There’s a reason why she falls out with everyone other than the most passive, submissive of people such as Moose.

[@feedbackdef]

@@hermanhawtrey8578 Hmm, when you say "classic narcissism her entire career" what specifics would you point to? (I personally have never gotten that impression. Not that my radar for this is flawless, but it's certainly not completely off-target either, and I think the word "narcissist" gets slapped on people way too easily these days.)

[@hermanhawtrey8578]

@@feedbackdef she was always wanting all the limelight during performances. Would subtly put down band members, later on not so subtly. And when you consider some of her behaviour after Lush gigs it’s astonishing that she keeps on and on making a huge deal out of the Alex James incident. And she’s always been hypersensitive to any criticism, one of those people who’s very happy to dish it out but gets hugely offended at the slightest critical comment directed her way. Sorry but she’s not for me at all.
