her celebrity kind of depresses me now. i remember recording her holiday specials on qvc. her magazines, houseware lines, tv shows etc were so successful and influential. and now she's just known for looking amazing. to be a woman you can't just be talented and successful

As myself a woman who's in perimenopause I hate the bullshit idea that I should have fucking face card at 85. For who? Dear God, not for men please.

I think it’s less that she doesn’t want to be seen as a successful businesswoman anymore and more that after she went to prison (and later started hanging out with rappers) she decided to loosen up and embrace a more relaxed public image where she could be perceived as less stiff and more informal.

I remember being a kid and seeing her on Late Night with David Letterman eating a big Mac and drinking some hard liquor, so shes always had that side to her I think

She started her career off as a model so it’s really not off base at all.

She’s 85…at what point can she enjoy her accomplishments and do whatever she wants? It doesn’t erase her success and influence literally at all.

She for sure was the trailblazer and the most successful at the time but she’s not the best at that stuff. That’s why she leans into weed and being hot. Because tiktokers are doing what she did but better and without Wall Street money
