Nobody “took” anything from her. She was in charge of her own destiny, and instead of living a clean life and competing fairly, she chose to cavort with (and marry) thugs and criminals. Instead of worrying about whether SHE was good enough or had done all she could to excel, she chose to plot and scheme with her band of thugs to injure someone. That looks like throwing away your talent AND opportunity to me, not having it “taken” from you.
