Here's my 2 cents. I heard nothing in Judy Collin's statement that was mean or undeserved. It was just her perspective on Joni, and she didn't seem particularly troubled by their (lack of) relationship. When Graham Nash made his cement mixer comment, it was out of the hurt he felt as a young man with a big emotional investment. And it was about Joni's behavior as a young woman. I think we are too quick to try to put labels on people. Joni, like all of us, doesn't need to be "happy" or "kind" or "difficult" because she is a whole person with all of those qualities in her. We expect to know her because she is a public figure, and because she has let us see so much of herself, but that's not fair or realistic.
