Don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing her of faking what she was going through. I've seen the pictures she's posted to Twitter, and take them at face value. What I was saying is that she made it such a big deal that she was going to be taking some time off: year off, possibly more. Then, she's back to it with some level of frequency and consistency almost right away.
Who knows, maybe she is in between surgery and chemo steps. Or, it's truly gone. Or, she's feeling the need to interact with people to help curb anxiety of what she's going through. Maybe she is addicted to camming/spotlight, of sorts, as some have suggested? Or, she's doing it to help build savings more for when she's truly gone?
There have been other times where she has done questionable things, which has brought up her numbers due to drama. So, the history is there. Again, as I mentioned previously, she and few others are the only ones whom truly know.
Here is what she said in her blog:
"The good news is that things are not without hope and my life is not over yet, however I will have to make huge sacrifices to continue the fight. One of the biggest is to give up camming. It’s really hard for me to imagine not doing what I love anymore, however after my surgery in early May I have decided to take a break from the online world and focus on my health. I don’t know how long the break will be, it could be a few months, a year or I may not come back, however I need to do this in order to get better."
As Amber and I both pointed out, it would have been more appropriate if she would have said things a little differently. Instead of "I'm done for X amont of time", could have said it as "If I'm feeling up to it, I'll be online as I'm able to, pending health. But, I'm not going for top ten, etc." Kind of like what Aspen did when she said she was no longer going for "Top 20" due to her life getting busy. In some sense, she did say it. But, the emphasis was on her not camming which was also repeated in her room on the last day or two prior to her surgery. I have not been in her room since her surgery, so have not heard an update.
It isn't really about one model taking members from another. At least in this regard. It was more about what, and how, a particular model acted.
