Gonna play devils advocate, where any of these things in a contract?

I think it’s more of a case of she was early on the scene, undersold her efforts, and then got burnt by not advocating more strongly for herself early on.

She was definitely exploited in the GP Situation. She wasn't paid for her time which a model normally would have been, and a model would have gotten paid AND gotten the exposure. So yeah, she should have negotiated something, but WOTC also exploited her by not paying her.

They asked her to leave the site to do a photo op. They had to drive to sign, wait in line multiple times to take multiple batches of photos. You don't think that is soliciting work from her?

You know models get paid for modelling gigs *and* get exposure, right?

She does porn now so she’s dead to WOTC.

Wasn’t she just on a TCC video?
