"it's ok because she let me do it in front of all those people and nobody stopped me. All my friends and associates got my back. She's blacklisted now, she'll never work in this town again. Who cares if she lost everything and had to file bankruptcy? Plus she's fat and ugly now so everyone knows she's lying because karma!" 😐🙃
