Just looked at her Facebook and it really looks like things have probably taken a turn for the worse again. Now she’s ranting and raving, multiple posts in a single day. Also super racist and scary.
yeah, the racist posts are pretty embarassing. i dont think she will ever turn her life around. people like her seem to always want to blame others for their very own misfortunes.
