Rylan's Abby first appears in May 2010, promoting herself as an animal rights activist. She garners the nickname 'The Naked Heiress' when she flashes photographers in the lobby of Jabot Cosmetics. Rylan states that Abby is a member of the Newmans and the Abbotts and "Abby is a little more half-and-half." Emme Rylan believes that Abby is such a rebel because she needs attention to feel like she matters to those around her. Abby's reality-TV star personality leads many to believe that Abby is the next
