I didn’t want to lose it for a storyline.”

“That guy, Bob Heyser, that was my father’s accountant at the time, which was my brother’s accountant, which was my accountant when I was working before meeting Joe,” she said. “That was my accountant, that I couldn’t believe he was talking sh*t about me.”
