Admittedly, I didn't really follow the Legal Bytes situation that closely (barely at all, actually), but that wouldn't really surprise me at all, if true. Some of Nick's fans are known for being hyper defensive of him and prone to go after his critics.
Unfortunately for them: 1) There's way less of them now. 2) Those that are remaining are the biggest low IQ idiots. 3) Nick's biggest foe right now is the government, and the government doesn't give a shit about spergs on the Internet crying about their e-daddies.
I think if she had split from him present day, she would have suffered little penalty. People like Kurt, Andrew, and Sean seem to be doing just fine.
(Also, wasn't there some shit with DUIGuy? That might not have helped her either).
