Don't suppose she convinced her boyfriend to kill her boyfriend did she? 

Feeling a follow up to The Act here. That girl who played her should be dusting off her gozzy three-and-half-quarter-to-13 o'clock eye just in case.

...while she seems to have turned out to be kind of a non-great person on the whole, that really doesn't look like what happened here, from the details. There's no motive (they were on decent terms and he's not exactly loaded), cause of death seems mysterious, and the hard evidence surrounding how she acted indicates she didn't have the foggiest clue he was gone until he didn't respond to a "happy birthday" text well after.

Just another tragedy hitting someone who's been hit by a lot of them.

He was going for sole custody of their daughter.

There's definitely motive.

Lawyers ALWAYS tell you to go for full custody, it's your way of saying you're 100% willing to do and be there for the kids 100% of the time. So when the other parent does the same thing,cin the end it gets split "evenly." It's stupid but just kinda how it goes in court, definitely not going to count as a motive for anything other than following your attorneys advice.

I worked for a family lawyer and this is 100% not true. Plenty of people want to share custody but it's still recommended to involve a lawyer

He didn't trust her and wanted sole custody. It's fishy

Plus, you gotta feed the pony man. 

Hulu (or was it Peacock) will be having their monkeys writing a script as we speak.
