[Avodah] Did Tziporah say Lashon Hara?

Rashi (B'haalos'cha 12:1) quotes Rabi Nasan: "Miriam was at Tziporah's side when they told Moshe, 'Eldad and Medad are having nevuah in the camp.' When Tziporah heard, she said, 'Oy to their wives! If they get nevuah, they'll separate from their wives, like my husband separated from me.' That's how Miriam knew."

Was it Lashon Hara for Tziporah to say this to Miriam? It sure sounds like a complaint to me.

If it was not LH, why not? And if it was, then are there any Chazals which take Tziporah to task for this?
