Why she might be annoying:

    She married Maurice Sullivan, who had been tutor to her and Bing's kids (2000).
    Aileen Crosby, wife of Dennis, one of Bing's sons from his first marriage, said, 'Kathryn's not a very nice person. She's a phony.'
    Fox News' Roger Friedman described her as having had 'Jocelyne Wildenstein-like cosmetic surgery.'

    She was a student nurse.
    She apparently kept Bing from being abusive to their kids the way he was to the sons from his first marriage.
