Since she has no current source of income and she’s not living with her parents, how does she pay for daily expenses that come up? Does she have handlers? Are her lawyers still looking after her even though the case is over? Some said she left the state after her trial and has been back and forth since. Does she have a car? Who books and pays for her flights? She can’t possibly go out to restaurants or shop at the grocery store. Does someone bring her food every day? Her lawyers? Do they get paid to attend to her in some other state? ---

I hate to be jerkish, but I really have a difficult time foreseeing a career path for her that doesn’t involve taking her clothes off for money. ---

In her shoes, I’d be living on the advance from my publisher. ---

She probably collects welfare. Can’t think of a better case; no job, no prospects, no income, been in jail fo 3 years so no work history to speak of or experience. I suspect her lawyers help her with details like travel and finding quiet residences - after all they certainly got famous off of her, and I’m sure that’s reflected in their fee schedule now. I don’t know, to me she looked pretty mousey; I doubt between that and likely stretch marks there’s much future in taking off clothes, wthout a serious makeover consultant. As for the book - I saw a recent interview some TV show journalist did (I forget who, Piers Morgan?), and he basically said “I would never have her on my show because she’s a compulsive liar and she can’t keep a story straight - so what’s the point of airing the latest whopper of the week?” I suspect any publisher or ghost writer is faced with the same dilemma, plus serious hostile reaction if they do publish. ---

I don’t think she’s permitted to go back and forth too much from the state of Florida. She’s currently serving probation for her check forging charges. ---
