Karen Read has a newfound appreciation for the people who showed her support amid multiple high-profile murder trials. "I still am in awe that [the support] even happened. It made me question my own empathy," Read, 45, shared on the Tuesday, January 13, episode of Kelly Ripa's "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast. "I always considered myself somewhat of an empath, but now I realize I am not, because I have seen injustices play out and other problems in society and I wouldn't be there ever." Read credited her own legal troubles for changing her outlook.
