She had some horrible shit done to her, and apprently vowed to make her own money separate from her family. The vapid, "that's hot" party girl persona was her succeeding. Shes come out hard against what happened to her and tries to help current victims. She managed to get legislation passed to help them, but also takes a more direct approach. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah, after reading about her being very public and adamantly against the troubled teen torture camps, I had to really confront the assumptions I'd made about her in the past. She's a very privileged person who's doing an important thing for some of the most vulnerable people in society. I have a ton of respect for her! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago* I’m glad the conversation happened, I typically tune out any celebrity news and this turned out to be a good discussion to read and learn more about.

Definitely not what I would’ve expected!
