The really funny part is that Melngailis wrote her memoir The Girl with the Duck Tattoo to counteract what she thought was an unfairly negative portrayal of her character in the Netflix documentary Bad Vegan.
Of her own free will, she shared that horrid “falafel in, baby out” story in order to – get this! – make a good impression on people. She thinks this is a story that will endear her to strangers. She’s hoping to rebuild her brand as a result of these efforts to restore her reputation.
She could just simply have avoided sharing the story. Or pretended to not be a horrible person about it. This is completely self-inflicted.
Think about it. She believes “falafel in” is going to make a good impression.
