My guess, judging by the kind of person she is, this was a reactionary reflex of getting called out for not being in the capital at the time of the "riot".
She is a histrionic drama queen, she would have told us all about it several times by now if it was real.
There is no incentive to not lie, everyone who loves her will love her more, and everyone who hates her will seem like a jackass for questioning her.
I feel bad for whichever 100 percent consensual ex-bootycall she decides to drop this on.
