Level 3 · 2 days agoShe taught children by day and stonewalled detectives by night. Quite the resume.

Level 6 · 2 days agoMarcel being treated as a victim throughout this doesn't sit right with me. He engineered the whole situation, told Babs to her face she was second, and walked away clean. The real scandal is he faced zero consequences.
