The same insider suggested that while Ferguson is eager to rebuild her finances, her public image has suffered significant damage.
“She wants to get out there and start earning money again. I can’t see how she’s going to do it. Her brand is toxic,” the source added.
According to reports, publishing a memoir had been discussed but is no longer considered an option. The source claimed Ferguson may ultimately need to address certain matters with authorities instead.

Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
