This high-ranking official of a government corporation seems to be losing her close friends over the way she conducts her job. First, the official declined to help promote a large conference, which a friend was organizing for a monetary institution, although promoting such events falls under the official's agency mandate. Then just recently, another 'dear friend'—a former model who made herself over as an influencer—resigned over what she described as 'creative differences' with this official.
