Well yes she was saving her own skin but all the journalist had on her was that her son is a rapist, which everyone would know already, and that she's got a criminal past. She's hardly a murderer, Liam already knows about her past so it is still very unfair for her to throw others under the bus. And why didn't she go to the police? Journalists do have to follow a code of conduct that doesn't involve blackmail 🙄
There's that much dirt in Emmerdale that this Wendy telling tales storyline could go on all year!
