TLDR:
Manufactured outrage that she moved on with someone else after her husband died. Whom she had been sepersted from for a little while as well.
Essentially nobody is mad or even cares but huffpo gotta farm outrage

Her own ex-BIL just publicly called her a cheater, so ppl **are** mad and she actually has received a lot of backlash for just moving on and living her life after being dealt a really shit hand.
Maybe I’m sensitive bc I’ve seen firsthand amazing women in my circle being unfairly judged and criticized for their actions after losing their husbands but I’m so glad HuffPost is spotlighting the unfair treatment.

Her ex-BIL was implying she cheated when Plaza and Baena were married. Not that he's salty she moved on.

Apparently her castmates are claiming this is true. People cheat all the time, she’s not responsible for what her ex-husband decided to do

Really? I feel like most of the comments are congratulating her and ignoring the elephant in the room about how her husband passed. I don’t want to come off like a full blown conspiracy theorist saying she cheated and he killed himself to punish her but I found it weird from the start people were treating her like a grieving widow when they were already separated, so her being in another relationship and having a baby with him tracks imo.
I was mostly surprised she’s pregnant at all, she struck me as the type of person who doesn’t want kids.

I’m not talking about what most of the comments are or aren’t, I’m saying I saw a significant number that were accusing her of not mourning her husband.
Also, even if people are separated it doesn’t mean they aren’t going to mourn the person. We don’t know the nature of their relationship or why they separated. Regardless of the circumstances it still likely caused her a lot of pain.

Facts. And people are totally (air quotes here) "allowed" to move on when they lose their spouse. There's absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting to be alone.

I'd assume any good spouse would want the surviving spouse to be happy for the rest of their live and not be miserable for 50+ years. If they don't want to move on that's fine too, it's really none of people business 99.9999% of the time.

There’s nothing wrong with what Plaza did because she was already separated from her husband when he died.
But nah, if someone I knew got pregnant a little over a year after their active spouse died, I would 100% think less of them as a person unless there was abuse or something similar involved. I wouldn’t harass them or publicly drag their name through the mud or anything, but it’s fucked up and shows either a low capacity to love or an overwhelming need to be in a relationship. Both are bad character traits.

They were already separated, and she has the right to become a mom. It's bullshit to expect someone to just remain single and alone for years on end. It's not a "bad character trait" at all. She didn't cheat on the guy ffs. They were already split up and she would have a new man and a baby otw whether her basically ex died or not.

No? They were already separated, so she was entitled to move on before he ever died.
But it doesn't matter, anyway; people are allowed to get new partners whenever they want to.

All I have to contribute to this is she first discussed the suicide (by hanging) of her husband on Amy Poehler's podcast which is called.... "Good Hang"

Terrible take. Amy Poehler is a close friend and someone she trusted to do her first public interview about her husband’s death. The naming is nothing but an unfortunate coincidence.

Wrong. They separated for 3 months or less before he passed. People have been assuming she cheated as this guy was her costar and now his brother has confirmed.

It's been speculated that Her BIL might be lashing out in grief/saying stuff that isn't true, as grief CAN make people do that. We don't know the full story, and it shouldn't be our business to jump to conclusions.
Also, her BIL apparently is arguing with people on Facebook about this and enjoying any type of discourse involving this..

I mean, Aubrey and Chris did a romantic play together in 2023 so it seems kind of silly to dismiss the claims of Jeff’s brother. Someone loosely involved with the play said in the other thread that it was well known that Aubrey and Chris were f****** while she was still married and very much with Jeff

She's a pretty girl in her 40s who wants a family. It didn't work out with her husband. She's moving fast, understandably
People cheat, it's not nice, but it happens. We do that to each other sadly. She isn't unique here, and she isn't responsible for her late husband's decision to end his life. Gentle reminder, we do not know these people
This is a dumb story that needs to go away

So many people expect women to be endlessly devoted to whatever male partner they have, regardless if they’re even still together, yet don’t even bat an eye when men abandon their sick wives, cheat on their wives or get remarried quickly after a divorce/death.
Good for her and I wish her a beautiful pregnancy

I objectively do not like Aubrey Plaza (risky comment on Listnook, I know). But let’s be real, it’s none of our business to speculate on. Even if she did cheat, she now has to carry the trauma of what happened after for the rest of her life. And we do not know definitively what happened, so why are we sitting here picking apart rumours and guessing what the most intimate details of someone’s former relationship look like, while she’s no doubt grieving (even if it doesn’t look how we “think” it should, that’s how it goes, knows anyone who has ever grieved), must we make her pregnancy about her ex’s death? Male celebrities cheat often and don’t get nearly as much flak. God, I don’t even like her (for personal reasons, her work is fine) but can we either spare a little humanity here, or at least mind our business? If she did something, I’m sure she’s feeling plenty burden for it. Man, if people showed the same amount of passion and interest in real issues that affect other people at large, we might actually get something done..

Doctors actually literally warn women given a terminal diagnosis that they’re at higher risk of their husbands abandoning them to suffer and die alone. So. Like.
