Mistress

The Resume

    (May 15, 1927-March 29, 1969)
    Born in Berlin, Germany
    Died in England
    Mistress of poet Ted Hughes
    Committed suicide at 41

Why she might be annoying:

    Her affair with Ted Hughes was blamed for Sylvia Plath's suicide.
    In 1965, she gave birth to a child out of wedlock with Hughes, Shura.
    On March 29, 1969, she gassed Shura and herself to death in a manner eerily similar to Plath's death.
    She stole manuscripts of Plath's poems and sent them to her sister (who eventually sent them back to Hughes).
    She was divorced thrice.
    She cheated on her husbands and cheated with other women's husbands.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her family fled Nazi Germany for Palestine.
    She was ostracized by Hughes' family and friends.
    Hughes cheated on her with other women.
    She's proof karma's a bitch!
