(66,437 posts)There was some question, among people like me who enjoyed her commercials, if she was as right-wing as the company she promoted.
I don't remember if there was ever an answer to that. But she disappeared quite abruptly, so who knows?

(1,474 posts)and ended up paying almost 2 million dollars in damages for willfully defaming/libeling the man because he hated him. Apparently spent months in a manic state, trying to ruin someone he had taken a dislike to. I'm astonished that he was able to keep his position with Overstock.

Byrne's story, as told to CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on "Cuomo Prime Time," and in earlier interviews broadcast on Fox Business News and Fox News, also includes allegations that top officials in the Obama administration, including James Comey, the former FBI director, approved of the bureau's requests of him.
It has not been verified by the agencies, and spokespeople for the Justice Department and FBI declined to comment. Reached Thursday evening by CNN, Comey called Byrne's claim "ridiculous."
A US official told CNN on Thursday that Byrne met earlier this year with Justice Department officials and shared with them similar information about a romantic relationship with Butina encouraged by the FBI. The US official said that the Justice Department officials Byrne met with found aspects of Byrne's story to be believable in part because he shared operational details that were not widely known.
