Lately there has been a shit load of stories about her being a mean, downright nasty person to people, not just her guests. Horrible to flight attendants, to guests, to restaurant workers, etc. Her apparent LOVE of scaring people, the bullshit she pulls that show her propensity for domination. This will not end well for her.

This story will snowball.

She won't have a show inside 6 months, I am convinced.
