She’s always supportive of Seymour, became even more proud of him for being a celebrity of hosting Audrey II in a T.V. show. Later she feels responsible for the disappearance of Orin, having often wished he would die or disappear, and in "Suddenly Seymour" Audrey tells him that her dad left her and her mom when she was very young. Her mom had little money making life difficult. She also reveals to Seymour that the abuse in her childhood led her to feel deserving of abuse from the men in her life.
