UPDATE: The Independent has more on a family dispute unfolding in the midst of the tragedy: that Jeanette Bougrab is the girlfriend, not the widow as MSNBC described her, of Charbonnier. In fact, Charbonnier’s family has ordered her to stay away from his funeral and denied the two were in a committed relationship. Bougrab addressed the controversy in her interview with Farrow. Farrow also responded on Twitter.
