The only version that seems to be torrented is 53:07 in length. I can't imagine why SS would object to this one, since it paints her in a pretty good light as "the mom who fought WWASP."
Scheff might have come off better if the film had been released upon completion. Now Sue's not "the mom who fought WWASP", but the coldhearted EdCon who sued Katrina-displaced single mom Carey Bock for 11 million, and Scheff waited until Bock was moving to Texas to serve court papers Bock wouldn't receive until after the court date. I can't imagine Carey Bock would blow off a defamation suit, especially considering the plaintiff. Scheff didn't give off warm and fuzzy vibes in the film. She seemed to be an opportunist with a myopic view of abusive facilities, singlemindedly dogging WWASP as if there were no other fucked-up programs. Watching the film with the benefit of hindsight, you can tell Sue was pushing the martyr role, thinking about her EdCon service. Parents would view her as possessing integrity and balls, at the same time managing to excoriate some WWASP ass. She could have a personal vendetta against Lichfield, maybe in the past he had refused to hire her. Ken Kay might have maced Scheff while working as an overzealous nightshift Rent-A-Pig? It seems Sue has no problems with abusive programs, she's made big cabbage reccomending hellholes that got busted for being fucking brutal..
Scheff threw her arm around Steve(?), the guy who spent five years in WWASPS, like it was a photo op, then quickly released him to deliver that spiel, something like "the kids have a voice again!" Steve(?) looked a little uncomfortable, he may have an aversion to people grabbing him. After the shit he went through, trust has to be an issue.
Sue, these are personal opinions, and you could consider these statements defamatory. Being a "limited public figure" created by your self-generated fame/infamy, you have the additional legal onus to prove remarks were made with "actual malice", meaning comments issued with a reckless disregard for truth. So don't sue me. It's like...my opinion, man. I have a question, though: How do you sleep? How do you drift into serene slumber, knowing the shit you do?
