> Why would she violate an agreement and expose herself to legal liability if she didn't care? Because she thought she could do it anonymously and keep the money and run? Not rocket science. The point OP was making was that if she felt strongly about speaking out she shouldn't have signed.... and if she did sign for money to not talk she must not have felt that strongly about it.

I still don't understand. You're repeating the assertion that if she took the money that means she didn't care, but she went out of her way to talk to the press. She spoke to the press anonymously which means she would not be able to benefit from the press coverage in any way - 100% downside for her. You can argue specifically that she shouldn't have taken the money (I'll agree to disagree on that one) but the basic assertion here makes no sense. The desire for anonymity makes it clear that the violation of the agreement was not some sort of self-serving attempt to have it both ways.

  "She spoke to the press anonymously which means she would not be able to benefit from the press coverage in any way" People who have a bone to pick sometimes want to slam a spot just for the sake of slamming them if they felt burnt - rightly or wrongly. I assert she didn't care because if a person truly had principles they wouldn't take hush money ... they would just speak their mind. If you take hush money, and then try to reneg on the agreement you instantly become untrustworthy in my books. She did it anon because she thought she would have gotten away with slinging mud, when she got caught she came out to the public and tries to play a sympathy card about how she was 5 months pregnant. Sorry this is case of someone trying to have their cake and eat it too.
