Okay I know that you didn't want to make this about Bennifer, but we can't not talk about how her mom has a gambling problem and Ben's gambling addiction has been well covered.

All right back to the documentary (which I haven't seen but want to check out). You might also like Pink and Sheryl Crow's docs, out now, which I have seen and both are excellent.

The gambling issue has come up from time to time in interviews

She was raised in dysfunction but, through hard work and drive, she has become very successful. Side eye to the claim that google images was created the day after she wore the green dress.

Her mom has a gambling prob?

She seemed human! I liked it. I don't think she needs validation, she worked hard and is a minority who keeps getting written off.

Say what you will - she does have a lot of hustle. She came from nothing and worked hard. (And yes, I find the Bennifer stuff tiresome as hell.)
