    Why would someone be humiliated that their money laundering scheme is laundering money?

    You people don’t honestly believe she gives a shit, right? And you certainly must recognize this movie as just being a grift, and that it wasn’t made with the intention or expectation of being successful, right?

    Please tell me you all aren’t that fucking blind.

      Yep, it’s just like all of the “bestselling” books the right “writes”. Real people don’t actually buy them; the PACs buy them to funnel money into the pockets of the subject of the book.

      I also believe that above all else, this was a money laundering scheme.

      That being said, I feel like there was a part of her that was hoping this documentary about her life would be revered as incredibly interesting and a work of art. Like, single digit ticket sales is incredibly bad… I don’t care who you are - that’s gotta sting. And that’s hilarious.

      I read she made $30M from the film - that’s pretty shockingly obscene compared to all the big tech innaguration bribes - of “only” $1M.
