The women is a a spoiled brat, she knew what she was doing, she knew why she was doing it because she doesn't want to work, she wants to live the high life while doing as little as possible. That she has her ex-husband under her thumb and that she abuses it (Living rent free, letting him pay off most of her debts, selling access to him) shows what a conniving little coward she is.
And Bertie, of course you see nothing wrong with what she did, from your posts it's clear you're a Sarah cheerleader. You're so far on her side of the line that you refuse to see her in anything but the best light regardless of the situation. And influence peddling may be common place, I don't argue that, but it is illegal.
