My point, though, was that sometimes an adviser has to step in, have a candid conversation and stop the client from doing something that's likely to make the stituation worse and, ultimately, hurt the client's long-term interests. It's not easy, especially if your client is strong-willed and heavily emotionally invested, but it's something that good agents, lawyers and advisers know how to do -- and it's something that Serena's handlers pretty clearly didn't do in this case.
