Insightful, really. "The enemy of your enemy is, for the most part, supposed to be your friend." The crux of your problem is when your new friend turns their attention to your other friends. Ann's business is Ann. Somehow, her possibly-conservative upbringing (at least from what she's said), has been supplanted by glitz, notariety, collegiality with dubious people and/or a host of other foibles of the famous..... I think she needs to go back to seeing what she gets for a 40 hour paycheck instead of "appearance fees." Maybe that will recalibrate her.

Recently, I have hear Ann describe herself as an author. She said, “ I am an author, that’s what I do. I write books.”

It just hit me that she does the public appearance and media appearances to sell books.
