It's hard not to empathize and immediately jump for pitchforks but... does she have any proof of this, or other people that can confirm any of these? From what I've seen all we have is her word.
I mean, remember few years ago when the internet collectively descended on Mick Gordon or Chris Avellone? And then only after years it came to light that they didn't actually do anything wrong and were falsely thrown under the bus by other people or companies? Or that thing with Bayonetta's VA and everyone coming to her aid even though in the end she was the one outright lying about the whole situation? Or the Disco Elysium situation, or probably dozens of other internet dramas fueled by emotion? I think we should collectively wait for something more than one person badmouthing on the internet before we jump to conclusions.
I dunno. I always believe the underdog with a lot to lose.
What does she have to lose?
Listen, I'm not at all saying she's lying, but I do not know her and people do shit for inexplicable reasons all the time.
She is getting a lot of attention, something I'm sure many people would not enjoy, but some of that is definitely being driven to her YT channel, so the whole "nothing to gain" position isn't really true.
Um. Being hired again? She can be completely shut out of any earnings that she needs to survive whereas Linus has a fuck you amount of money. So...
She's going to be hired against her will? 🤔
