From Wikipedia:
To throw (someone) under the bus" is an idiomatic phrase in American English meaning to betray a friend or ally for selfish reasons. It is typically used to describe a self-defensive disavowal and severance of a previously-friendly relationship when the relation becomes controversial or unpopular.
I didn't betray her by stating the truth. To betray would have been if we had come to an agreement and then I lied and said I didn't agree with it. But I didn't lie at all. She misrepresented my questions as signing off, and nowhere in the conversation did I say, okay go ahead or anything of that sort. In fact, in the emails, all I do is ask for clarification so I can actually review it. So I had not even reviewed it when she sent it off.
I am not sure why she feels it needs to happen this second after we finished this very stressful even this weekend, but she hasn't given me any kind of timeline, and I said I would review it for her, and that takes more than 5 minutes. Especially when it's not well done.
Ug. I did not throw her under the bus. She's just claiming that because she misrepresented the truth and it got noticed.
You know, she also knows I'm very stressed right now and in a lot of pain because of my back, so I'd think maybe she'd think twice before thinking I was doing anything malicious towards her. My only point was to clarify that I had not given any input on what they were reviewing.

Yes, exactly.... you are absolutely in the right on this. You did the right thing and said the right things.
Ugh, it sucks when this kind of thing happens... breathe..... people can say the dumbest things sometimes.
And sorry you are in physical pain -- ARGH.
No problem about the thread..... it's OK.
