they had already incorporated the Ashley Madison thing, it could have been misconstrued that they added the the scene similar to the journalist shooting thing on purpose. It was only a couple of seconds long and was a live, on air suicide rather than a murder but viewers may have concluded they did it impromptu as they do other scenes from very recent real world events.
Actually my own paranoia is making me wonder if they postponed so they COULD Include the scene... Nah, to much liability if that was leaked. Makes for a good conspiracy theory though. Lol
