I know this plan (with scumbag’s wife) will work out, but hadn’t they considered the possibility that after the movie premieres and the wife regains popularity, the scumbag could claim that his wife is mentally unstable so that her “evidence” would be stalled until they could investigate further?
Her character’s experience hits a bit too close to what the wife would be appealing for in court and the role isn’t that mentally stable either. I mean, the lady in the book killed her husband ffs. He could claim that she’s been influenced by her character and, thus, is delusional.
I know I’m over analyzing it. This is a QT story after all and quick plots filled with holes are a commonality to satisfy that genre, but... sigh.
