There's a little more to it than that.

A lot of the problem was that the XXXChurch guys weren't doing it for Trinity but rather for themselves: they paid themselves almost all of the money brought in as a salary and spent very little on the charity purpose, ie saving PWs.

This is a common problem with charities: the people who run it pay themselves very well, hire subcontractors for solicitations etc who just happen to be owned by a brother-in-law, etc.

In this case the XXXChurch guys were supposedly paying themselves $80k/year (or as much as donations brought in) and using Trinity as a front or poster-child to raise more money to pay themselves. I'm not sure this was as much a case of Trinity asking them for money as it was of them looking for a suitably gullible front to use in their pitches to get donations.

It took a while but Trinity did post here later that she she realized XXXChurch wasn't about saving PWs but rather yet another charity/donation scam designed to line the owner's pockets, using some seemingly worthy cause as a front.

As for her guy's post: yeah that's pretty bad, but from his perspective they were using Trinity's name and picture to raise money and she may have seen no more than 1%-5% of donations. It's not unreasonable to feel that if they were getting funding to "save Trinity" then she ought to get something. As it was it may have been like a new band trying to get royalties from a music label - you see your name everywhere, and lots of sales, but somehow at the end of the month all of that revenue got diverted into various label expenses and none paid out to the band.

Trinity has always struck me as something of a lost soul, not real sophisticated, wandering through life not really sure what to do next, not always making the best choices, be it jobs, boyfriends, etc. But I've never had the sense of a bad person.
