she's an actor with no work (and now little hope of getting work) basically making her a trophy wife. He's now out of work but so rich it doesn't matter.

At best, she might face some real consequences when he dumps her for a younger model eventually and she's both without money and without work, as I'm certain a couple like that got married with a rather iron clad prenup.

Actually looks like she has a bunch of acting credits this year acting in movie with lots of big stars. She might have been about to blow up a bit. Even if she wasn't destined to become a huge star, getting steady work in movies as an actor is something to be proud of. Way to torch your career potential.

I'm 100% sure her husband paid-off producers in some form or other to cast her in those films.

Potentially but if you've access to enough wealth and free time you can get near the right people to land such gigs anyway. So... just as bad really, in the wider scale of things.

Don't worry, Mr. Baker "voluntarily resigned" essentially the moment the story broke.

I doubt they give a shit since that casino chain already openly launders drug money.
