The whole thing was a rumor made up by Gawker, a trashy tabloid sued into extinction because of the garbage posted on it, and was treated as gospel by bloggers.

Barb’s death was pretty much ignored by every character in the show. The show’s fans started to demand “justice for Barb” to compensate for how glossed-over her character was.

This is what happened to Audrey: She had the chance to be her own person, but rather than get herself out of danger, she leans into everything that made her unhappy in the first place.
