i think it started with HIM stepping on her pride and mistreating her...
"He should be glad he was helping her fight corruption"

"He should be thankful that she keeps him on his toes"
Showing up to an interview without doing even the slightest research about the interviewee isn’t just unprofessional, it’s dismissive. It makes it obvious she looks down on him. She clearly holds herself in high esteem as a political reporter, yet she seems to have little respect for him or his profession, as though acting is somehow beneath her. If anything, she’s the one who might need to be kept on her toes, as you put it.
"She was super rude...but he didn't have to be rude back...he could have gently kicked her out..."
In short, you acknowledge that she was rude and in the wrong, yet you still managed to place the blame on him.
