I don't think you or I have nearly enough info to criticize MT just because of a couple of quotes. I've conducted and been on the receiving end of enough media interviews to know that often reporters ask leading questions, which can result in a quote that appears much more aggressive than it really was.
I think we need to be careful about "mother in law bias" here. So many of us have witnessed strained relationships between a spouse and a parent in law that it is tempting to assume a strained relationship.
But MB and MT did not have the typical in law relationship. They had been co-workers and knew each other before MB ever even met BB. Again, I see nothing to indicate passive aggressive behavior on MT's behalf and her longstanding relationship with MB would indicate otherwise. JMHO
