I hate her too, and when I was younger I used to work in a theatre.

She was starring in calamity jane, and it was royally shite. as we cleared the foyer as it was starting, two guys stayed by the bar. We told them that the show was starting. They seemed disinterested and asked if they could stay at the bar drinking.

There was no problem with this, so they stayed there, and we got chatting. It turns out that these two were her cousins, and they were given tickets by her, so they had to show up, even though they hated her.

As it happens, every year, at christmas she commands the audience of the whole family, and makes them watch her sing and dance, and applaud and boost her strange ego!
