On the whole I tend to pretty much agree with your views here.
Having done some sleuthing of some public information available on the web,
I can however say that Abby may well have at least some peripheral family connection to TN, so this purported rumour being discussed here might perhaps not be totally unfounded altogether.
Being a media guy I can tell you that there is a surprising amount of information to be found on the web about most people if you only know where to look and how to tie the facts together. And, yes, there is a tenous link between Abby and TN.
Hope I haven't inadvertenly broken any house rules here by stating this.
If so, I wholeheartedly apologise.
