I saw an interview of Brittany and her parents a few days ago on one of the talk shows - keep searching for it online and can’t find it. Really wanted to post it for here for her few detractors
She was absolutely delightful. She was very authentic and the last word I can think of to describe her is “phony.” She was quick to first give credit to the teachers/staff at her school whose dedication was instrumental to her success, and of course to her parents. My impression was that she was surprised and overwhelmed by her results. Her parents sat back and let her do all the talking and really did not seem to want the spotlight on them at all.
While it was only a 4 or 5 minute interview, my impression was that this was a very happy and well adjusted girl, the kind of kid that simply would do well no matter where she went.
