He would pretty much cut EVERYONE off after that. At the time she was struggling to make a living as an artist. I think she also went on Oprah.

She talked about how hurt she was considering the fact that he had always been her grandfather even though they weren't related by blood. It was kind of sad.
I don't feel especially bad for her. The emphasis on privacy that Warren Buffet has placed on his family isn't exactly a trade secret. Besides, paying her educational expenses is HUGE and gave her privileges that most Americans don't have.
