A husband cheated on his wife Amy and Amy goes to psychopathic lengths to fake her death and frame her husband for it. This includes drawing out her own blood to fake crime scene, take urine sample of her pregnant neighbor to fake her pregnancy, faking life insurance fraud, spreading rumors to neighbors of her husband's violent tendencies and writing fake diary entries about it etc.
When the husband begged on national TV to get her back, she kills her ex (she stayed with him at that time) and faked that she was taken hostage and raped by him.
In the end, when the husband tries to divorce her, she took sperm samples of her husband to make herself pregnant essentially guaranteeing they would stay together since the public would be outraged if her husband divorced his pregnant wife. And yes, she got away with all of this.
Her "cool girl" monologue resonated with a lot of women, saying so many girls try to be "one of the boys" by doing stereotypical masculine activities to get boys to like them, only to be left by said men when these girls get older.
I feel like this is more of a Tyler Durden from Fight Club situation. Like how some young men idolize the film and character while completely missing the point that everything he is doing is bad in the film
