She will never get help, nor be compliant with therapy otherwise.

When a powerful person who can make or break your career demands sex, it is irrelevant whether or not the person accepts the offer. It is sexual harassment.

My mom used to live by Barr’s mom. Her mom told her that she became a completely different person after being hit by a car. Traumatic brain injuries are no joke.

That's my guess. Motivated by envy of people who are successful, richer, accomplished, good looking, articulate, admired, etc etc.

My feminist mother used to admire her too. She was her favorite comedian and she loved the Roseanne show. I'm actually glad she didn't live to see her fall so hard. She would be appalled by what she's become.

she has destroyed herself, thinking that she was above it all, and able to do as she pleased, but found out otherwise. Her ranting and raving isn't helping any, either.
