Craig Simpson got smart and bailed on her a few years ago, and Pelletier bailed before that.

Tessa Virtue, please stay sane!
Pure speculation on my part, but I imagine it was something along the lines of a life crisis and the person she leaned on for support was friend and fellow Olympian Theo Fleury. I don't know what their relationship was like pre-Battle of the Blades, but I'm sure they became close.

As has been mentioned she has talked about a pseudo "life coach" coming into her life around the same time she started mimicking Theo's nuttery. Not to absolve her of her choices, but it feels like she was sucked into that black hole when she was vulnerable.

Or I could just be talking out of my ass.
