B, as I said in my own comment below, I realize that I can't tell you how to feel, but I don't think it's at all fair or productive in any way to direct anger at those who knew and didn't say anything. And I say that as someone who considers herself fairly close to some of the interested parties, including Kia. Kia's decisions were her own and even if they were hurtful to others, as her former friends, I think these people were right to respect her wishes to disappear and their own hopes that the situation would eventually as well. Who knows what further psychological damage this thing coming to light could have inflicted that close to the event on someone who was obviously already unstable. It wasn't their lie, it wasn't their place, and it certainly was not their responsibility to share with fandom at large. Be as angry as you want, absolutely, but the ultimate guilty party here is Kia.
