Hopefully she was smarter with her money than she is with her body cause I don't think her next job will keep her in fashion she has become accustomed to.

We have said this before, but this time, it is true. She is totally caulterized. see definition above....Another clown will take her place. I wonder how fast she will realize her new, much lower status..(that is almost no status)

people make mistakes. She had an opportunity to guide others and I wouldn't have a problem with her making money off of it had she promoted safe sex vs abstinence.
