I could see this happening to her, and that would be so cruel.

That's one thing that I can see happening, but at the same time, I don't know how I feel about it. Of course I don't want it to happen to this woman who seems like she's a sweetheart, but the reality of it is that everyone that goes on there put themselves in these positions by auditioning for a show like this, even if they're totally clueless to the trials of the life that would follow should they get their wish for success. It certainly doesn't justify anything, but it kinda comes with the territory. How she handles it will prove who comes out on top and thankfully it seems like she's got a bit of sass, not to mention the fact that being so public, there will be plenty of people who will be jumping to manage her business affairs and publicity. I do hope that this next phase of Susan Boyle's life will treat her well though.
