They are admitting to the least serious thing that could cause the visible symptom - the swelling around the ankles that can’t be denied. Because of course they are. Of course they are lying. When are they not lying?
And the handshaking bit - what a laugh. Handshaking does not cause bruising on the back of the hand, and if it did, why cover it up with makeup? He would never do that. If it were true he would brag about it, not cover it up.
They’re lying about everything.
