In a video chat with USA Today, Kerr makes it clear that Safdie was determined to capture the spirit of Kerr's life between 1997 and 2000. And what about that delicate tummy Kerr complains about in that scene? One interesting departure from real life involves the smashing of a pricey Japanese vase that Kerr bought for Staples. Later in the film, an inebriated Staples finds Kerr's Glock (which had no safety) and points it at her head. And, yes, that is the real Kerr you see cheerily grocery shopping at the end of the movie.
