Audra’s Shocking Revelation
Audra (Zuleyka Silver) is an ambitious and driven woman who will do anything to get what she wants. She paired up with the wrong men. She stole other women’s boyfriends and husbands. She schemed with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), even though it didn’t benefit her.
During the Tuesday, February 3 episode, Audra explained to Holden (Nathan Owens) how she went from loving art to being obsessed with wealth. This conversation also gave a glimpse into why Audra is so jealous of Claire (Hayley Erin). Audra’s forever seen as the bad girl of Genoa City, while Claire is seen as a princess, no matter how dark her past is.
Her parents worked two jobs to keep food on the table. From then on, Audra wanted enough money to feel secure in her life. She didn’t want the instability and insecurity that her parents struggled with. But she couldn’t keep up with the rich kids who made her life hell in school.

She Just Wants To Fit In
In one simple sentence, Audra explained to Holden why she’s the way she is. Holden feels that he doesn’t know her anymore. “I was just so desperate to fit in,” Audra admitted.
So, she stooped to their level. She wanted to get a seat at the rich kids’ table. But it didn’t work in her favor. So, Audra toughened up, in which she shut everyone out.
This suggests that Audra wasn’t always this way. She had a big heart at one point and wanted to become an artist. But she always had a complicated relationship with money and wealth.
Before she embarked on her career, she was a shoplifter. Audra returned to the stores she had stolen from and bought clothes, which she donated to organizations that benefit women in need. This allowed Audra to move forward from her past. It also reveals that she does have a heart after all.
