Rhea represents Bollywood. Your words have defined Bollywood in a nutshell. They see themselves in Rhea so they support her. She's everything they stand for. Cheap, cunning, and malicious. I am not surprised they support her, after all, isn't she the 'supplier' of their drugs?
It's going to get worse before it gets better. Be prepared. These cases often become ugly and dirty when they are fought in court.
You have precisely and concisely put forward what I was struggling to say. This is the crux of matter---bollywood see themselves in Rhea, she is every thing they are, from inside and outside; crass, greedy, manipulative and malicious.
I always understood why they tried to put down Sushant, I understood the shades of jealousy behind the grim and silent ostracization they put through him but currently I was unable to find a good reason that why BW wallah are standing by her.
She is the bollywood personified. I understood finally why they are siding with her.
