Thanks for your nice take on the situation, no "let's-stone-the-bitch-and-lynch-her" or any other holier-than-thou comments. I had a discussion just some hours

Thanks for your nice take on the situation, no "let's-stone-the-bitch-and-lynch-her" or any other holier-than-thou comments.
I had a discussion just some hours ago about the same kind of person in France (my frog says hi) and Entertainment. A young woman called Zahia Dehar, who went from underage (17) escort-girl for national soccer players to the Princess of her very own fairytale, working for Karl Lagerfeld, working with renowned brands, getting a documentary about her coming soon,... And of course, with all our morals and stuff, we'll be quick to judge her as "she's just a whore, why care?", and still, she's now more popular than most of us.
"Don't hate the player, play the game."
Be it Zahia, Kim Kardashian, Shirley Hornstein,...aren't they just the female versions of Frank Abagnale, or even a twisted (as in "I do stuff for me, not for curiosity's sake") version our very own Kevin Mitnick? Like it or not, these persons are "hacking" their way to fame. Do they use the right methods? We're enclined to think "no" but it's a matter of personal view.
These three girls never stole anything. They cheated they way, yes: they used the system, the system WE built. One used fake credentials and network because some people value "who-you-know" more than "what-you-can-do", one went on to have a show about her to get simple minds addicted to her private life and the last one sold her body to make more money in her prime than most of us will do in a lifetime.
Now what about us, are we accomplishing anything by wasting time here bitching about it or are we just complaining that we didn't take those "opportunities" ourselves?

She took someone's credit card out of their hotel room and used it for her own purposes. Moreover, Abagnale went to prison. As he deserved to. He was a thief. Just like Hornstein.
