“She feels that the interview empowered her and gave her a voice when she hasn’t had a voice,” the insider continues. “She has had to listen to what everyone else thinks of her. Now she was able to tell people who she really is, and she’s happy with it.”

One of the jurors who acquitted her says that she is not credible. “Once a liar, always a liar,” the juror told PEOPLE. “If I heard her talk during court, I would’ve convicted her.”
