I’m working solely off of what she said, so that’s a huge caveat here. To be clear, I don’t have access to Sweeney’s bank accounts, and she has yet to text me any personal details about her life. How is someone who was one of the breakout stars of the second-most-viewed show in HBO history after Game of Thrones talking about “I don’t have enough money”? Explain it for us.

This is true for a lot of Hollywood celebrities, but it seems more stark for her.
