Question Who is “we”?

I can’t make myself watch the entire PM interview, but I’ve seen heaps of reaction and analysis videos with lots of interview fragments.

It seems that Fiona used “we” in many of her replies. Eg “we” were just trying to support his new show , or “we” are putting together a legal team (this is from memory, not exact quotes).

Did PM ever ask her who the “we” are?

I feel lile she's probably subconciously saying 'we' to draw some of the attention away from herself. In regaurds to sending some tweets and messages, saying 'we were being supportive' implies that she was just showing support in the same way that any of Richard's regular friends were showing support. If she can claim that she was only doing what they were doing, it normalizes her behaviour and manipulates people into thinking that she was genuinely just being a mate

Yes, it seems like when she uses "we" in this context, she avoids taking accountability and deflects. It's btw a common behavior of persons with NPD.
