Come on, the fact that she is a known criminal hardly supports your assertion that she isn't a full-on liar. Strangely most people would assume the opposite.”
What criminal offence did she commit? Why does this dictate that she, or anyone else for that matter, should be condemned as being a liar, without being heard first? As I said, in the UK, even the most hardened criminals are allowed to speak in their own defence, before sentence is passed on any new charges that they may be accused of.
As for her court appearance this coming Wednesday, that's a civil offence, NOT a criminal one. Unfortunately many thousands of people find themselves in this position when they accumalate more debts than they thought they could manage. It does not follow that they are guilty nor does it follow that they lied about some completely un-related matter on a TV show.
