I think it's because she's terrified and desperate. Insecure financially especially. A fantasist. Everything's crashed for her -- her age, dreams and expectations. Children probably giving her side-eye and the household help also. Friends hiding. No means of support. Poverty staring her in the face. And her mainstay, IG, has finally walked off. All on top of her fragile mental health
When a woman who's accustomed to being described as 'stunning' allows herself to be seen in her current condition, it means she's lost what little pride she had. It's dreadful to witness. But if you or I were able to magically transport ourselves to her living-room to help her, she would suck us into her maw or spit at us if we failed to confirm her twisted version of reality. She's all or nothing and is her own worst enemy. Many of us have known people like her. Awful to say, but they are parasites
I completely agree with everything what you wrote.
I said previously, you can guide a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink it - This, the case with some people, it’s an arrogance within themselves that they know better & will always know betters there is no bend.
In terms of finances (I am unsure of theres so I couldn’t comment) but I will say lay off the Cafe gratitude subscriptions and go to Trader Joe’s or Ralph’s.
Hollywood or rather LA is smoke and mirrors & I think maybe AE has over embellished their “Hollywood” life when it fact it looks pretty standard for an actor or IG listing. No shade there.
It’s not a sprawling mansion by any means, but obviously seeing a pool in a home (when the majority of folk in U.K. don’t as a rule) gives the impression of something else.
LA is expensive (I’m still reeling after paying nearly £7 for a coffee from Erewhon - Gratitude isn’t too expensive for a meal, but it’s subscription is)
At some point in life, you have to pivot - and for a lot of actors that’s what they have to do or change direction by directing etc … but AE wasn’t an actress that was even known as character (she sees herself as a leading lady, she’s not and never was - sorry, but this is a fact) and unless you did something exceptional - then it’s hard to comeback even just as a jobbing actor.
Aside from her behaviour, she is intelligent and maybe a writer or something … (scrawling I hate BW like Bart Simpsons at the start on the show)
EGO is a huge part of the entertainment industry (in certain roles Acting, Directing, certain Screenwriters) and they expect their egos to be feathered and fluffed on a daily basis - by whom it doesn’t matter - just carry on feathering and fluffing the ego - the Twitter sycophants are the fluffers & in turn they think the wife of a b list actor is there friend because she nonchalantly told them she loved them after giving her any information that suits the narrative she wished to pursue.
