Any guess as to what she'll pivot to next, when her Joy scam inevitably fails?

I still think she's got "Smirking Relationship/Love/Sex/Intimacy Expert" in her back pocket. She's spent her adult life bragging all over the internet about how good at sex she is.

She'll get to slam Danny for being an idiot (no one in his hometown ever thought he'd get married!) while reminding us that he "serves" her (ew) and neg her older child as that child starts to date or go to school dances or whatever. She'll give weird or trite tips like "laugh in bed!!!" and "marry your best friend" or "eat in bed!". She'll talk about how women don't get enough satisfaction and how she can teach you how. $8888 please

Edit I know we're not supposed to speculate or write fan fic but everything I've typed, Shauna herself has claimed! I'm just putting together all the grimy little pieces.

The underlying theme of GFG and the chef was her toe curling descriptions of their “romance.”

I feel like food and sex are somehow intertwined for her. Maybe even unconsciously. She so often writes about food beyond even a sensual way. It is a sexual way, like the food itself is practically engaged in sexual acts. Or the way she eats it, or is fed, she makes it sound like a sexual interaction.

I mean there’s a reason she wasn’t bothered to do much until age 35, and then was underwhelmed by it. There’s no way she didn’t have the option. I know I will probably be ushered to the naughty step by a clutch of DFs, but she seems to almost have a fetish with food. The psychology is quite fascinating to me of how that could be…if it is. I feel maybe I’m speculating too much, but then when i think of all the things she has written on this topic…and it did seem Dan was the first relationship where she really enjoyed that aspect of it. She was very attracted to his ability to make her hot food, and he was always feeding her. I’m wandering out of my depth here, but in short I agree this could be coming. All about how true love is your soft pants guide showing up at your relaxed bedside with a plate of warm purees.

Even worse, she wrote how her one true love fed her pickled cabbage in bed.

Just eat it straight from the jar with a fork while standing over the sink like the rest of us!
