She didn't say that verbatim from that interview...but clearly she saw the episode like everyone else...so it's not hard to say "yeah, from the footage, Brit looked irate" . It's the least you could do to support your friend of 10+ years. But now you're riding the fence for Brit Eady??
I've always gotten the impression that Cynthia see's Kenya as a "nice to have around" type of friend but wasn't always invested in the friendship as much as Kenya was. I remember how she initially tossed Kenya to the side for Eva, until Eva and Kenya became close.
