People will sometimes read a story or see something online that upsets them and want others to feel that same level of distress so that they know they're not alone. What this response often lacks is consent. Yes, the news is public information, but how we receive that information, process it and react to it is still personal. She didn't respect a boundary that you set. That says to me she was less interested in commiseration than in misery.
