Re: Predicament...Probably poor choices or not enough safety measures. For instance, dump orders are not uncommon between brokers and clients but she probably didn't have one and should have.

Re: Bitchiness...If she were a man, she'd be called "driven."

Re: Everything else...I've been gleaning ideas from her massive output for years. I've included some of her dishes on holiday tables; made some of her cakes for celebrations; and decorated tables using ideas from her magazine. Every year I give a mason jar gift for Christmas - most have been from Living a couple I came up with myself.

She's getting a whole lot of exposure because everyone loves to see celebrities topple and she was perched pretty high.

I understand the bitchiness point. But for all the same reasons Martha bothers me, so does Bill Gates, Trump, and many men. These people's best skill is to surround themselves with highly talented people. Then they choose to play front person, which is a skill they happen to lack. So they come off poorly.
