What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- She has many moments of arrogance and greed which are too prominent for her to be NPG, such as, writing a book about Maureen Prescott's death for nothing more than fame where she called Sidney a liar, originally only wanting to save Cotton's life because it would up her book sales, writing a book about the first Woodsboro Murders which contained insensitive depictions of Dewey, and writing a book about the 2022 murders despite promising not to where she called Sam unstable and a born-killer.
- She mistreated her first cameraman Kenny, such as telling him to "move [his] fat tub of lard ass" and sensationalising his death in her book by saying he was gutted when in actuality his throat was slashed.
- She has a sadistic moment where she and Sidney vengefully taunt Amber for killing Dewey and shoots her towards the stove and the two of them pretended to act horrified when she gets burned.
