Not to even mention the timing. It's all a little too convenient.

The "timing" is "while everybody is discussing the issues within LTT". That's a completely reasonable time for an ex-employee to contribute their views.

If you're presenting "how conversations work" as suspicious, I don't think that skepticism is healthy at all.

Not to play semantics like the insanely bad take from Linus, but this isn't just a conversation, her accusations are serious.

I was clearly being unclear, the timing isn't important here. The me too movement showed that a lot of people who faced some of the same things she did stayed quiet for years.
