This despite the fact that she rarely visited Bauby in hospital and was in New York with a new boyfriend when he died in She is portrayed as faithful, kind, patient.

Not only does she steal the husband but also then she does not come to see him in the hospital because she cannot bear to see his wasted body. Except it never happened.
