An insider told
Daily Express that Sarah Ferguson has become "too toxic to touch." Before her Jeffrey Epstein scandal, "somebody else always picked up the tab" for Ferguson, even when "she spent more than she had."
However, the source noted the former duchess had "been very well taken care of over the years by various boyfriends, friends and acquaintances."

Now that Sarah Ferguson's opportunities are dwindling, the insider claimed she has become "seriously worried about how on earth she's going to maintain her lifestyle."

Sarah Ferguson publicly defended her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, when his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and sexual assault allegations ended his royal career. But now, Ferguson's own public image is unraveling.
"It was quite normal for her to be invited to an expensive hotel or spa and given the five-star VIP treatment for a few days in exchange for her simply being there, but now nobody wants her," the insider revealed.

In an email, Sarah Ferguson "humbly apologized" to Jeffrey Epstein for associating him with pedophilia.
She later in the message called the disgraced financier a "steadfast, generous and supreme friend" to her.

Once the email became public, charities and businesses cut ties with Sarah Ferguson.
However, the author said the decision was made "in the context of advice the duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats."
