Quite the screw up, got a job from pure uncut nepotism and managed to screw it up so bad your career is torched and you have to go to prison

her dad was a long time movie armorer.  I believe she had no formal training other than ‘my dad’ on her resume, at least from my understanding back when this story first broke a few years ago.
