Oh, I can accept the premise and I have no problem with modeling characters from real life personalities or even having a real life personality featured as a character. What I’m saying is that this particular person is so grating, self-serving and attention-mongering that I fear I would have a hard time suspending disbelief. And the way Eric wrote this makes it sound like the character isn’t merely modeled after her, but is actually her in an alternative (and entirely unbelievable) timeline. Again, the author may have a really compelling reason to do so, but my enthusiasm is gone.
Also, we’ve had the good fortune of hearing very little of her lately except when one of her derelict kids fuck up, so inviting her back into my conscious mind any more is very unappealing.
Edited to change the poster’s name. I just assumed it was Cory, apparently.
