It's her husband's business that got destroyed though. He was on the sidelines.
Seems like she was actually in that business too.

As a part owner (which you would think would be the default definition of the spouse of the owner). It doesn't change what I said though. He didn't say anything and his business was ruined.
I don't think starting a podcast means you want to be pulled into shitstorms.
The author of this article didn't stay on the sidelines, which is why she got dragged into this mess. Most people stay on the sidelines. The author of this article hosted a podcast called "Me Neither" and, predictably, her life was consumed by a shistorm. One almost feels like this is what she wanted.
I'm not saying anything about that is good -- I'd rather live in a world where people could disagree about whichever issue without anyone's business being ruined. But we don't appear to be living in that world and, for almost everyone, it's totally possible to stay on the sidelines of "the culture war" and just go about your life.
