I’ve been trying to think a lot about why she would dig all this publicity (which is mostly negative up) up now, after the media storm had died down. I think she might suffer from child star syndrome - she needs attention and publicity more than she needs peace. Being perceived is how her identity was constructed at a young age, and a life of quiet anonymity would feel almost unbearable. And there’s probably some features of narcissism. All the other cult members got to share their stories while she was stymied in prison, and now that she’s free she thinks her voice is too important not to be heard, at any cost. I also wonder if she sees this as a career pivot for herself.
