That's not a sentence!! I don't know who to be angry with, the journalist or GR.
Anyway. I don't know if it's appropriate to even mention this, as we don't know if it's true. Sorry mods. I wish we did know either way. If the rumour we heard at one point about something that was going on over the last few months IS true then this talk of 'she stopped painting, lost weight, changed' etc is so upsettingly unfair, as it's explainable as her going through a trying time. If its true then I think GR would do a lot more good towards finding his wife by coming clean about that, admitting they were having some troubles, even that she may have been struggling and why. But this talk of her 'changing'....well.
If it isn't true, then I'm confused. Up til now, all the 'changes' we've heard of her making have made some kind of sense with her meeting someone else- effort with appearance, weight loss etc. However, stopping taking part in an artistic pastime you enjoy speaks of only one thing to me- sadness and depression. We haven't heard any talk of this type of change, nor have there been any of the typical 'battling depression' type statements I'd expect if this was the case.
