Some will make jokes and some feel a bit sorry for her. I’ve done both but I’m more inclined to feel sorry for her.
Seeing only a few minutes of her “reality” show and some of the clips on the news, she always impressed me as a rather gullible, lonely, confused and not too terribly bright woman who was very desperate for love and attention.
That combined with no real talent aside from a voluptuous and marketable body made her easy prey for people more than willing to take advantage of her and use her to make money for themselves – like perhaps her so-called lawyer/husband/father of her baby - Stern?
Just like some others; Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Judy Garland…the hanger-ons fed her ego, fed her drugs, and fed her to a public hungry to watch the train wreck in slow motion happen and all was good as long as “they” got fat and happy.
I think you nailed it.
