[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is beautiful, smart, ruthless and savvy, but also soulless, without any humility, and zero genuine kindness. Very Connecticut 60's-80's. Awful. My DH was watching this and I had to leave the room. [/quote]

This. I was watching it thinking "who would admire this?" I would much rather be known for my kind soul, my humility, and kindness than be beautiful/smart/rich.[/quote]

I loved the documentary. I think it was fascinating, but part of the takeaway was that her great beauty + ruthlessness + demanding nature + work habits were the roots of her success: she got into Wall Street that way, didn't care about neglecting her family to launch her empire. She basically lacks all qualities that make a person admirable on a deep level, but superficially she is a really impressive success story. As for the trial, it was pretty crazy how her bff threw her under the bus on the stand. I looked it all up and apparently after the trial she said Martha possibly didn't even say those words, and she wrote a tell-all about their friendships. So if that's the best friend she had in the world...It's all very sad. [/quote]

Telling the truth under oath isn't throwing someone under the bus[/quote]

Erring on the side of "she probably said it so I'll say she did and ruin her life" when you aren't sure she actually said it is definitely throwing someone under the bus.[/quote]

Absolutely.  Do you all have even the faintest concept of "under oath" and "beyond a reasonable doubt"?[/quote]

Beyond a reasonable doubt is a standard for the jury not for the witness. Her testimony was admissible, fool![/quote]
