I’m more inclined to believe she has handlers.
She clearly doesn’t want to be like this and there. The moment she became a poster child, she was doomed from the start. If she could, I say retire and live off of royalties if she has any. Do whatever she needs to save face— tours, talks. Etc.
But like you said, it just isn’t realistic w how deep she’s in it. She seems like a nice person. It makes me such a bleeding heart to see someone go through this shit needlessly. I can’t help the wishful thinking.
