After Samantha‘s tweet and the ensuing backlash that followed, Lea told the New York Times that she entered an “intense time of reflection.”

“I really understand the importance and value now of being a leader,” she added. “It means not only going and doing a good job when the camera’s rolling, but also when it’s not. And that wasn’t always the most important thing for me.”

When asked specifically about the allegations Samantha made, Lea said she doesn’t “feel the need to handle things” through the media.
