Of course she would.

I find her repulsive. She clearly supported some of the worst TRAs when they threatened JKR.

For years, I have read on various gossip sites claims from multiple posters that she is very a very cut throat opportunist. Fits.

I hope she gets her comeuppance.

very cut throat opportunist

What does it mean? I understand what an opportunist is, but not the whole thing.

Cut throat means someone who will stop at nothing to get what they want, including destroying other people's opportunities.

Pedant piping up here: I think it's usually written as one word - cutthroat - or hyphenated as cut-throat.

Thank you. (Is it a standing phrase in English?)

So it means taking opportunities from others and redistributing them to oneself or affiliates. 🤔 Makes sense. I’ve seen her in more things than other (even more beautiful and talented) women her age.

Her success is baffling. I tried watching a season of American Horror Story that she was in, but found her too distracting because everything about her is unpleasant to me.

Yes, it is a standard word in English. It means willing to do anything to get what you want, so yes, also would include taking opportunities from others and redistributing them to yourself and friends.

I must say I did enjoy her performance in the 2nd season of AHS - Asylum. IMHO the only good season of AHS.

I think that's the one I had to stop watching because I find her so annoying and her face was too distracting. I can't remember what bothered me - fillers (plastic surgery)?

🤣. Well in that case - it won’t get any better. Good thing, there’s so much entertainment you will never run out.
