She suggested that the sender have a heart-to-heart talk with her boyfriend to identify any issues in their relationship and also advised her to reflect on whether she might be doing anything that could upset him.

Meanwhile, Atom, who was live at the time, kept making expressive reactions, prompting Winnie to turn the spotlight on him as well.
