All this proves to me is why she didn't come forward, she knew her past would be pulled up and thought she would not be believed. She knew her veracity would be put under a microscope and she would get thoroughly Kronked ( smeared , without mercy) by the Anthony's and the defense.
It would take very little effort, imo to charm Mr. Anthony to one's home and get him in a position to take compromising photos and sell them to the rag magazines. If that was her agenda, she would have done that a year ago.
I imagine her still shaking after she returned home from the police station where the reporters were shoving microphones in her face,
she gets a call from the NE,
they ask her for comments and explain they are running the story with or without her input, and ask her
doesn't she want to answer George calling her a nut and a liar?
Remembering the admonition she got from Detective Allen not to speak to the press,
she tries to fend them off,
they say they will pay her, still she tries to decline.
An hour later she receives another call from the NE ,
the reporter's editor has authorized them to assure her they are not asking her to divulge anything that would impede the investigation or for her to hand over the would be evidence she gave the police,
they just want to use what has already been released to the media,
the two photos that are indeed already out in the public domain.
Now she is thinking she guesses that could not hurt anything, right?
They tell her that Mr. Anthony has given them a scathing, absolutely scathing ,statement that she is a low life,
criminal, grifter looking for her fifteen minutes of fame and a payday, and that he wouldn't be caught dead with someone like her,
why go out for hamburger when he has steak at home, something really, really below the belt offensive to make her angry like never before.
Furthermore they tell her if she hadn't realized it already, she may need a lawyer to guide her through this mess and everyone knows it is not beyond them to try to say innocent people should be considered suspects,
and lawyers cost a pretty penny.
Now her blood is boiling,
her promise to the detective is fading fast.
Now we get to the punchline,
they offer her 50K, or some amount of money that would solve all the financial problems in her life right now,
each and every one of them,
so she relents.
They are pros at this,
they do it everyday.
They know precisely which buttons to push and
in her emotional state she is no match for them.
Ta dah...the story appears in the National Enquirer.
You see how that works?
