Iirc she reached out to ERW not the other way around
She also sold several interviews

Like, this is her story and her life but I wouldn't be surprises if money was involved
I just wished she wouldn't throw other survivors under the bus

yeah, the blaming of ERW makes it feel like money was involved.

I wonder if manson threatened to sue her unless she publicly recanted….or paid her to goaway

[ari_angelique]

He is still a rapist and an abuser. Let no one forget this.

[slimer]

wonder how much he paid her to say this

[josiefier]

Exactly what I came in here to say

[januarysix]

or blackmailed/threatened her

[derevko]

Yeah… I’d say it’s more likely blackmail than being paid to backtrack

I wrote something similar in a reply to the comment above you. I hadn't gotten to your comment yet. I completely agree.
