3. I really can't make heads or tails of this. You realize she was injured and drained but you're mad at her for not being upbeat at the stagedoor. You acknowledge that her behavior was understandable but you wish you'd never met her.
I vaguely sorta get it. Example: I fangirled a particular actor for several years, and finally got a chance to see him in a show and stage door after. Very nice guy - had this been an early stage door experience for me, it would have been all I could have wished. However, I was sort of a regular with a couple different companies at the time, I had some actorfriends, and had even had a couple absolutely amazing conversations/interactions with another actor I'd totally adored for equally as long. This actor, there just wasn't any chemistry. He was polite and sweet, I was nice, and in the end, it was a weird letdown. I'd still do just about anything to see him in a show again, but I wouldn't feel compelled to stage door said hypothetical show unless there was someone else in it I wanted to talk to

3. I heard that on one of the night's Alli had her understudy or standby go on for her, she was seem at a different local show playing in the area with several crew members.
This does occasionally happen. A friend of mine called out sick to do this (something at his former high school, in the area - it was a big deal to him, and having him there, as a professional alum, was a big deal to the kids) when he couldn't get the evening off with vacation time. Yes, I helped him cover it up.
Now, technically, no one should ever play hooky from their job, no matter what it is. But I wonder if there's more tendency to condemn an actor for it, because they have fans who want to see them, then to condemn the budget analyst for skipping out for a baseball game when a report is due the day after tomorrow. People in another department might want him at his desk, but if their questions are covered first thing the next morning, is that really a big deal?
Not saying you're deliberately condemning, but the gossip falls in with the sort of condemnation of secret 3. So just putting another view out there. These are their jobs, after all.
