But that's what people who value money above all else do, isn't it? It's the sort of single-minded approach we see in some high - powered business types.
Both money and fame can become addictions for some with certain personalities. If you crave it, but perhaps lack the talent or intellect to get it in other ways, you might find a more distasteful route. Like the druggie robbing for a fix.
She wanted something. She found a way to get it. It's an awful way, but it may have been her only way. She wanted it so badly, she isn't counting the cost to herself. And the truth is, this is actually something we see all the time.
What we don't usually see is what happens when your desire outstrips your ability and opportunity. People have the ability and opportunity to make big money and achieve fame still don't count the cost to their personal lives and health, often. It's just that what the Hollywood star does isn't quite as blatantly damaging or repulsive. It can be just as destructive, though, in different ways.
It's not always about trauma, though it can be. Some people just crave notoriety. Again, not always true, but sometimes a background of poverty can result in an unnatural obsession with acquiring immense wealth.
Now imagine wanting these things so bad it hurts but not being Elon Musk level clever or talented enough to make it as a Hollywood starlet. An idea forms. "If I do this, I get that. Ok, not how I'd imagined it, but it's better than being a nobody in an office."
I don't get it because that isn't how I think. But I can imagine how somebody might think like that, because plenty of people with fame and fortune do think like that. They've just been able to get there in a better way. Who knows what they might have done if they couldn't.
