[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she is choosing her strategy wisely and I also think she will come out ahead. Now she might still do time but this will be a Martha Stewart type of rebirth. She will be fine and is willing to do the repair work. People will want her story more now than ever and she's deciding

Sure, but none of them relied on a "good girl" persona to make a living, and none of them willfully committed fraud. Let's look at the women.  What is the issue with Drew, that she did drugs and was a little out of control in her 20s? She didn't hurt anyone and she grew up, so who cares. Winona Rider is a better comparison, but her career never did recover (she was an A list movie star and now ?) and people are accepting that mental illness was a factor there. It took her a long time to even begin to get back in the game, and she was an internationally famous Oscar-nominated actress. Martha Stewart is a better example, but most people don't care about white collar crimes like insider trading, which tend to be viewed as "victimless" and she was never thought to be a nice person anyway.

Some of the other people you list are total jerks or are guilty of minor infractions, but haven't done anything illegal. Even Woody Allen wasn't convicted of anything, though his career now seems to be over in the wake of "Me Too."

It's hard to find a criminal whose former livelihood depended on being thought of as nice and wholesome. For reality stars, being jerks is part of their schtick. But as this thread makes clear, it's her current attitude pissing people off though I don't think more than the crime itself. [/quote]

Reese Witherspoon completely recovered. [/quote]

Reese Witherspoon had one night where she drank too much and mouthed off to the police.  She seemed remorseful, or acted remorseful, afterward.  She did not commit a years-long fraud that arguably injured others and did not behave as LL and her husband behaved when almost found out. [/quote]
