She did[1] but it looks like she far exceeded the goal and has since disabled donations - possibly because the campaign expired? I'm not exactly sure how that works. It's also not clear that the money was for her legal defense. Perhaps at the time she initially ran the fundraiser she wasn't anticipating criminal charges.
I'm fairly certain this was the "official" one because it was linked to from an NPR article and she had done an interview with them. But I have to say, it's a very odd choice for a GoFundMe photo for such serious accusations. So for that reason there's a small part of me that wonders whether or not it's legit.
