She is a bigot with poor impulse control, but the TBI didn’t turn her into a bigot. She has the ability to choose and was quite savvy business wise at one time, if not particularly likable. I think being famous and rich and having a ton of validation from her fans for her bigoted behavior made her think she had a free pass.
