I think both of them were in the right, but PB was ultimately more in the right, if that makes sense.
Yes, what Hank did was reprehensible, and somebody should have found a way to bring him to justice, because what he did was wrong. I completely sympathize with Diane’s view.
But PB was also right. Realistically, what the fuck was Diane going to do about anything at all? She didn’t have the institutional power to punish Hank and she didn’t have the celebrity to sway public opinion against Hank in any meaningful way.
On PB’s side of things, Diane’s crusade was threatening the success of HS&C, his only source of income he had at the time (very important when you’re a celebrity who has to maintain a certain lifestyle. And Diane’s job in S2 wasn’t exactly the most profitable thing in the world.)
Also, the literal DEATH THREATS that were being sent to PB and Diane. She was getting up in arms about something that, whether it had anything to do with her or not, was actively putting herself and her husband in danger. We don’t see it in Diane because she’s too busy arguing on MSNBSea to find the death threats, but we see the way it affects PB. It’s not a healthy way to live, and if she’d continued, who knows what could’ve happened to the two of them.
