I'm aware of the Snoop Dogg connection, I just wondered if the Ali-G connection was purposeful or specific, because every time they cut to, the mental image of Ali checking out the dancing girls pops into my head.

There's no titillating sense of 'this is what power gets you' or scandalous sense of 'what if people…

I like her better on Salvia

I didn't see it so much as a 'reveal' as an assumption for the viewer and a part of life for the character, that came into the forefront of her consciousness under stress.
It may be giving the showrunners too much credit for it to be intentional, but it is plausible for Ani to go through life with molestation on a low…
