Sounds like you have also been affected by a narcissist. Truer words have never been spoken.
There have been so many things that RG did, that are directly in alignment with that type of personality. Denial, blame shifting, zero remorse. Even the prosecution team referred to RG as a "narcissist'.
Encounters with narcissists all have unique properties and stories.
Yet, they are all the same.
Rebecca Grossman, like all narcissists are dangerous. I consider narcissists the most dangerous type. They are often responsible mass murder and carnage. They destroy many lives. All because of their overinflated ego and inferiority complex. On that ground, Rebecca Grossman is no different from the likes of Jodi Arias, Lori Drew, Bryan Kohberger, Eric Harris, Elliot Rodger, Harvey Weinstein, Jimmy Savile, Jerry Sandusky, Elizabeth Bathory, Jim Jones, Osama bin Laden, Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, and Joseph Stalin. They are all very dangerous and destructive people.

Rebecca Grossman shows all characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and it does really show in her. She does also show characteristics of Histrionic and Borderline Personality Disorder.
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition marked by extreme mood fluctuations, instability in interpersonal relationships and impulsivity.

-Fear of abandonment: It’s common for people with BPD to feel uncomfortable being alone. When people with BPD feel that they’re being abandoned or neglected, they feel intense fear or anger. They might track their loved ones’ whereabouts or stop them from leaving. Or they might push people away before getting too close to avoid rejection.
-Unstable, intense relationships: People with BPD find it challenging to keep healthy personal relationships because they tend to change their views of others abruptly and dramatically. They can go from idealizing others to devaluing them quickly and vice versa. Their friendships, marriages and relationships with family members are often chaotic and unstable.
-Unstable self-image or sense of self: People with BPD often have a distorted or unclear self-image and often feel guilty or ashamed and see themselves as “bad.” They may also abruptly and dramatically change their self-image, shown by suddenly changing their goals, opinions, careers or friends. They also tend to sabotage their own progress. For instance, they may fail a test on purpose, ruin relationships or get fired from a job.
-Rapid mood changes: People with BPD may experience sudden changes in how they feel about others, themselves and the world around them. Irrational emotions — including uncontrollable anger, fear, anxiety, hatred, sadness and love — change frequently and suddenly. These swings usually only last a few hours and rarely more than a few days.
-Impulsive and dangerous behavior: Episodes of reckless driving, fighting, gambling, substance use, binge eating and/or unsafe sexual activity are common among people with BPD.
-Repeated self-harm or suicidal behavior: People with BPD may cut, burn or injure themselves (self-harm) or threaten to do so. They may also have suicidal thoughts. These self-destructive acts are usually triggered by rejection, possible abandonment or disappointment in a caregiver or lover.
-Persistent feelings of emptiness: Many people with BPD feel sad, bored, unfulfilled or “empty.” Feelings of worthlessness and self-loathing are common, too.
-Anger management issues: People with BPD have difficulty controlling their anger and often become intensely angry. They may express their anger with biting sarcasm, bitterness or angry tirades. These episodes are often followed by shame and guilt.
-Temporary paranoid thoughts: Dissociative episodes, paranoid thoughts and sometimes hallucinations may be triggered by extreme stress, usually fear of abandonment. These symptoms are temporary and usually not severe enough to be considered a separate disorder.
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image and an overwhelming desire to be noticed.

She needs constant thrills in her life. She wants to be center of attention and is very obsessed about her appearance. She fears being rejected and abandoned, which she is finding out the hard way. Grossman likely get angry very easily and has a hard time controlling her anger. When she was sentenced, she screams and sobs loudly and tries to get Nancy Iskander to talk. It is not an isolated incident, she likely throws violent tantrums if things do not go her way. Her loud crying and screaming is a common occurrence. Substance abuse is a way to repress her severe resentment. I suspect when she was younger, she probably had a not so good reputation. This is just my opinion.
