Normally howard stomps out everything he doesn't like. Notice how Z3 has never made it on air?

Brandi is a close friend of beth and I don't think howard would let anything fuck that up, yet just enough gets out to pique our interest.

Is this a 'bit' from one of the many meetings to play on the fact that most fans of the show now have multiple conspiracy theories about THSS or is it infact real drama?

What's your take?
