I think she just acts in the spur of the moment without thinking anything through.
On the contrary, I think she is extremely savvy and plans carefully, as per the example of composing the letter to her dreadful father and 'working' with OS, the OW interview.
As others have said, she needs to control the narrative and she needs the publicity, therefore, colluding, misleading and even lying are all a means to an end for both of them. It appears she has the expectation that she won't be exposed and even when she is, she appears to still motor on regardless, with little more than a shrug of her shoulders.
Having clearly been shown to have lied to the court, I think must be somewhat unstabling for her, because in this case it is clear cut, she lied, it cannot be cannot be dismissed as misogny, racism, the media narrative, online trolls.etc. This is very clear cut and does elevate the doubt that manipulating the media is not just for 'privacy' reasons.
Like a lot of others on this thread, I was a huge fan of hers, she was such a breath of fresh air, I had so much sympathy for her, having the misfortune and embarrassment to have an awful family who really tried to sabotage her relationship with H and the RF.
She is smart, articulate, beautiful and very charismatic, however I now look at her philanthropy and interviews with a very sceptical and raised eyebrow.
She appears to be an inconsistent version of the authentic, humanitarian she wants to present as her public persona..
