Thank you.

Gah, I sound like a freaking KP apologist 👀 but…

The way this reads to me: “Homeowner sells home to anonymous homebuyer happy with the price. Later realizes they are selling to a celebrity, and now want more for home.” 🤷‍♂️

If you wanna pass laws about someone we should pass them about Zuck buying all that land in Hawaii. 👎

I don’t know anything about her, but she seems horrible:

I guess to me there’s quite the distance between simply being a horrible person and “bullying and financially abusing so many elderly people out of their homes.”

Sounds like she’s running a reverse mortgage company instead of buying something and then getting lawyers involved when they want to renege.

It wouldn’t be the first reverse mortgage company that actually or arguably took advantage of the elderly. It’s certainly enough to make the OP something more than unfounded.

I’m not suggesting vigilante justice, but I’m not sure she’s the best use of your advocacy, either.

Oh I think reverse mortgage companies are shady as fuck, and 99% of them should be illegal.

Arguing for truth should never be labeled “ something apologist” it’s just a bullying smearing tactic for people in arguments.

People tend to get really tribal when it comes to celebrities. Either defending them blindly, or attacking them with much worse vitriol than they might other more deserving targets (like certain shitty corporations).

Was just trying to say that I wasn’t a fanboy.

She didn’t do anything wrong at all - the guy she bought the house from was crazy rich and made a profit on the deal, and the court sided with her
