Why would my friend be interested in my abusive Ex?

My friend supported me before and after the split with my Ex. She knows more about what happened than anyone else.

She helped me sort out my money; she was angry about how he behaved - she witnessed some of his abuse. She read text messages and helped write responses to his unreasonable demands.

I helped her out with childcare and looking after her pets when she was on holiday. It seemed a good, solid, equal friendship for nearly 7 years.

We are less close now; we don't see each other much as she got involved with a new partner and started spending all her time with him. She stopped coming to a weekly activity we both enjoyed. She got involved in MLM and I didn't want to buy anything.

She's now split with her partner and is making the moves on my Ex. Why? Why is she showing any interest in him?

He's planted the seed and is letting your worries water it.
Maybe she is interested. Maybe she isn't.
I'd be inclined to say not.
Though someone who gets pulled into MLM and alienates their friends who don't get this hun bizniss is probably also the type of person who would get suckered in or have the delusions to think they'll be the ones to change them
