She was, and still is, all about USING people any way possible if she can make a profit off them. Doesn't matter how young, nor how old. She's swamp scum. I didn't see your second post there until I'd already posted this, but yes, a slimy snake fits her exactly right! There are photos that her eyes look just like a slit-eyed evil, conniving snake.
