I was thinking the same. Modern expositions look for someone to cannibalize for their own satiation. Not that I know of or want to defend this woman (I’ve honestly never heard of her before now.)
This story however reminds me of the treatment that wellness community got in Arizona over a decade ago when that guy died in a cave meditation retreat. Everyone up in arms about those “cultish weirdos” when they were really doing harmless consensual adult things in which someone got sick and died.

If the accounts are true, Griggs appears to have been a rather unpleasant person, and she stands accused of running a company as though it were a cult of personality -- but I see nothing here to suggest that she actually defrauded her customers. Besides, she died of a rather tragic accident a few years ago. In such cases, it's usually best to speak no ill of the dead who cannot defend or justify themselves.
