We're past that point in the story and it has taken some different turns, too. But for her to do all this stuff when she's portraying a this character is just... sad.

I would guess that she tried for some parts and was told there were things about her physically that threw her out of the running (your boobs are too small; you're too "girl next door") and these changes are a result.

So she quite literally sold her body for success.

I'm not leaning towards any sympathy here. I think it's gross...
