I believe she's compromised. I haven't followed her, but I've seen her in posts like these for a long time: https://lemmy.world/post/8042534

Wasn't she just going off on "kids these days" not working hard enough to be able to afford things like a house, health insurance, free time, etc.? Nah, bitch is rich and drank the Kool aid lonnnng ago... She was never your friend and role model if you paid enough attention.

How about we remember the character and the scenes we love, instead? 🤪

Turns out she is like several comedians and actors: fine as long you didn’t know them as people. Then they disappointed.

Like most professions, there are some people who use their platform and profile for good. Then there are those who are self interested and warped.

There's an age-old saying: "No one should ever meet their heroes."

It sounds like the right way, but can you point out her episodes or movies to check?

Um, what? You mean, like IMDB? You have the internet where you are? 🤪
