I saw one episode of her show on A&E. I have never seen such a pathetic portrayal of an addled, self-absorbed, shallow individual in my life. Along with the hangers-on such as her lawyer, who I suppose married her and fathered her child, the most interesting thing about the show was the fact that a network would put such a specimen on exhibit, and they deserve condemnation for giving a public forum to the fiasco of her life. The real victim in the entire tragedy of her life thus far was not her, not her infant child who probably stands a better chance of happiness with foster parentage, but the son who grew up under her "care" and the ogling eye of the camera and died pathetically in her presence at age 18.

Wizzy, I think the "buys farm" comment implies that you certainly disapproved of the woman, and I second your disapproval, but the phrase carries a smirk in it that isn't erased by any other statement in your opening post. Just my opinion.
