Her essay makes it seem like she's mostly powerless. She gets shuttled around from place to place because other people make money by using her as a prop. She gets paid lots of money and is given freedom, in a sense, but it's freedom to gorge herself on basic pleasures like attention, drugs, and wealth. Overall it seems like a childlike existence.
- dwroberts 11mo agoThis is what makes the ‘successful’ parts slightly off to me. I get that she is successful, she is well known, presumably made good money etc - but in some sense it’s the machinery behind her that has been successful in using her. Everything she is, is just a brand created and owned by someone else.
