As someone with the benefit of having been entirely disengaged/out sick for the Jolivia drama over the past week or so, catching up all at once, this is what stood out as truthful in the whole mess -
1. Olivia is addicted to the fantasy and will do anything to avoid living in reality, which includes the reality that Holivia was never anything real
2. Olivia only does things for how they make her look - adopt a dog, shelter kids, pose with kids, shield H from the messy truth, say whatever to the nanny to reassure her, string Jason along (she knew what she was doing), even openly tell Jason she wanted to closet their relationship bc he wasn't cool/young/hot enough for her to benefit from....what kind of a person tells their new boyfriend that?!
3. Olivia will do anything, absolutely anything, to keep this going. There will never, ever, ever be any end that she agrees to or doesn't fight with every single ounce of her being. If Harry's team is waiting to negotiate or even force a peaceful end, I think it is very clear there will be no peaceful end, ever.
Even her ex-fiancee who loved her admits she is a "mediocre actor, mediocre director" and "not relevant." 'Dating' Harry is her only opportunity at relevance and fame, and, as a narcissist, fame is her reason to exist.
As former PR gfs have said, the less famous person never comes out of the relationship better off after the stunt. She knows that.
There is no level of bad PR they can put out that will persuade her to disengage. Bad PR means she is famous and relevant.
She will withstand any amount of bad press, drama, making fun of her, anything, because once it is gone, she has no reason to live. She has no future, no family, no friends, no jobs, no fame, no respect outside of this.
I think Harry's team severely underestimates what she will do to keep things how they are. She isn't regular level Hollywood narcissist. She is so far beyond that and they seem to struggle to get that.
If Harry's team is looking for a path out might I suggest something she might go for -
Olivia becomes the new poster child of some kind of mental health issue she gets treated for to explain her behavior, 'writes' a self-help book and goes on the talk show circuit where they call her 'brave and honest.' She launches a new brand around that. Lots of mileage around lifestyle guru for toxic Hollywood and mental health - food, fitness, self esteem, girl boss, whatever.
Theeaten that H will date a young, cool person now and the stories will talk pityingly about her in old lady terms or say H was never into her. Withstand the negative stories she will leak - we already know she has teed up drug addiction and cheating. Spin it and take it as a lesson.
Or if not, may I suggest Olivia is placed in a cannon and shot into the surface of the sun, bc that is the only way you will ever get rid of her.
