Sometime after the events of GTA IV she took up Christianity, a fake Southern accent, right-wing views and transitioned from pop to country music. In 2013, Muldoon attempted suicide by ingesting a bottle of vodka with a fistful of pills, after a recent breakup and struggles in her career (she later tried to pass it off as an accident). A few months after the incident, she appeared on the radio show Bless Your Heart with Bobby June. She tells Bobby June that her adopted children still number at thirteen, who "each have their own room and their own name!". She debuts a song from her new album, I Like Things Just the Way They Are.

"You know who tried to get in here earlier? Drunk as shit, Samantha Muldoon. I used to work security for her. Mr. Clinton said not to let her in. I gotta tell you, it felt pretty sweet to ask her to leave."

- Agency Security Guard to the GTA Online Protagonist.

In 2021, a drunk Samantha Muldoon tried to see Franklin Clinton in his office at the F.

Having worked as part of her security in the past, the guard recalled her negatively and was only too happy to turn her away.

Muldoon was mostly based on Angelina Jolie and Madonna, while her child Wave was likely based on Jolie's adopted son, Maddox. Her extravagant wedding was based on Lakshmi Mittal's daughter's wedding, and a strikingly similar supermodel-banker match, Aleksandra and Andrey Melnichenko.
