I can see how someone like her would fall for his smarm.

He probably flashed his cash(or faux wealth) in front of her then filled her head with all kinds of nonsense about making her rich and famous.

It's good she gets to view him objectively like this. Maybe she will now come to her sense and dump him. At this point she really doesn't need him. In fact, he's a hindrance.
