It was then that she dedicated the rest of her time to White Lotus creator Mike White.
"Mike White has given me hope. Even if this is the end, because you killed me off, but you changed my life in a million different ways!" she said. "My neighbors are speaking to me and things like that. I was never invited to a single party on my hill and now everybody's inviting me!"
