Pronoun Clarity Query (Her)

She despised Sara for being with him for being able to get any man she pleased. Her animosity towards her and her ability to charm was becoming more venomous by the day.

Is that confusing, or is it clear that the second and third "her" are referring to Sara, since we're talking about the way the other woman feels towards Sara and the way Sara carries herself?

Thanks.
