She has probably been really nervous about coming on TV and giving an interview. Well, at least she got the monkey off her back and got it over with.
Monkey muscle data:
In tests at the Bronx Zoo in 1924, a dynamometer — a scale that measures the mechanical force of a pull on a spring — was erected in the monkey house. A 165-pound male chimpanzee named "Boma" registered a pull of 847 pounds, using only his right hand (although he did have his feet braced against the wall, being somewhat hip, in his simian way, to the principles of leverage). A 165-pound man, by comparison, could manage a one-handed pull of about 210 pounds.

I think the owner of the chimp should be responsible.
Do you know the history of the chimp? He lived with the owner for the vast majority of his life. He was like a child and well known in the community for many years. His freaking out was a freak thing.
