So Tessa revealed parts of herself - I always thought good writing was supposed to do that. She has money/lives in a moneyed world. Let's poop all over her and call her a skank. What the hell is that? Money happens. If someone handed you money, you'd be all pissed off and tell them to shove it? Fine. Just make sure you send it to me.
And as far as 'did she write the bio herself' and the apologist's need to assure everyone Tessa probably didn't. Yes, she probably did. In indie filmmaking you do everything yourself. That said - why shouldn't she write about her life? It's. Her. Life. No one told her she was supposed to be mortified by her own existence. Good thing you set her straight. I assume she'll hang her head in shame from here on out.
