This is SO California.
When I was living in LA and the Menendez brothers shotgunned their parents to death, their skag-botoxed woman neighbor sold her "story" to the National Enquirer for $25K. When a TV reporter shoved a mike in her face and asked her why she did it, this was her response: "This is a tragedy, but I'm going to get through it. I'm a survivor."
The neighbors get turned into cordite burgers, but it was all about her!
And, uh, Joan Felt, a 61-year-old "single mom"? We used to call them divorcees or grandmothers, sometimes both.
Yeah well, these days those grandmothers are "sexy senior citizens", so I guess we have to just get used to it/sarcasm off
