Just go right up to them.

He said, yeah, he said, they chose this life.

I'll never forget him saying that.

And, you know, he wasn't wrong.

Exactly.

If Ryan Murphy and his staff had had been able to get the buy in of.

Now, I think, on the other hand, they're portraying a whole family.

So I think buy in would have been difficult because we as we know, there are disagreements within the family and that's part of what he's portraying.

So I think to get buy in would have been very complicated.

I mean, listen, if you are using publicity and the press in any way in your career, in your life, that changes the equation a little bit, right?

Like if you want the press when it's time to get your side of the story out there or your pictures out there or whatever, but then you don't like it if other creative entities don't.

You know, you want to make the rules for every portrayal of yourself.

That's challenging.

So the same fame that makes her vulnerable to what Ryan Murphy has done is the fame that enables her to place a highly read op-ed piece in The New York Times about what's happened.

You have to factor that into the math about how to feel about the situation.

Alexandra Jacobs, always a pleasure to talk to you.

Rachel, I'm always available.

All too available.

I'm not a rules girl when it comes to coming on The Daily.

I read 70 books this year. I'm not telling you how many I read for pleasure. I read more than 100 books this year.
