The discussion transitions to coping mechanisms, with Vogue detailing her elaborate pillow setup to manage anxiety:

They discuss the ramifications of having personal rumors exposed online and the difficulties in addressing or stopping such behavior:

Joanne McNally [15:26]: "The reason you brought it up is that we have stayed well clear of us. But it's a forum where you can anonymously kind of flag off people."
