📝 AITAH for not wanting to talk to my female friend after she dropped me outta nowhere?

So, I (24M) have someone I call a friend from around the way (31F) and we hung out in a group for awhile, a little over a year and a half, sometimes one-on-one. We eventually formed something of a good friendship. She started attending a church and I was happy for her. Eventually, she met someone there she knew for less than a month, and decided he was the one to marry. One morning, I asked if the group could meet him over some dinner we were all planning. Then she admitted out of loyalty to him we couldn't be friends anymore. And it wasn't just me, but the entire group.

Now, before anyone says anything, I respect her boundaries and wished her well. I also want to point out, that I have friends across both genders, single, engaged, dating etc. Nothing has ever transpired besides a good conversation and a few laughs.

The rest of the group wasn't too happy about this sudden revelation. But eventually I just go on about my business. Another year goes by, fast forward to last night and I'm hanging out in a nightclub with some close friends of mine, dancing and catching up. Then it's her, showing up, knowing it's my usual hangout spot. She then demands we talk. And I respond simply saying, I don't have much to say and I hope she's doing well and want to get back to my friends.

Despite my objections she continues, and I reluctantly listen despite not wanting to be held up with this.

She proceeds to admit the relationship soured. They've been fighting and things even escalated to her now ex fiancé threatening to kick her out despite him cheating on her. I said I feel sorry for her, but she doesn't get to track me down, demanding I talk to her when things get dicey and it's convenient for her.

Then, I simply say I'm not interested in discussing this anymore and go back in the club. Later today, my phone is buzzing from the group chat, some people defending what I did, others saying I was being a little harsh (to some extent I agree with).

So, AITAH for not wanting to speak to her?
