Revenge Films / Gold Digger

In a series about people getting revenge on those who wronged them, one of the most common targets for revenge is people who marry or hook up for money, especially if they are willing to cheat on their low-spec spouse or hijack others' existing relationships with rich men so they can enjoy their desired celebrity lifestyle in the cheated's place.

However, these same greedy people can also serve as unwitting instigators of karma against cheating spouses and treacherous false friends, leaving them broke and begging for forgiveness. Therefore, this warrants Revenge Films its own Gold Digger page.
