Don’t think SH paid FOR the article. If anything, DM paid HER. BC is still good clickbait. That might be the reason she was even let on set.
BC was giving her a chance to make some cash and Marvel/Disney was playing nice to keep her quiet/under control.
If BC really didn’t want her on set security would have prevented it. (Ok he doesn’t really want her but their were reasons to let her be there.)
BC really couldn’t send her packing though, that would have ended very very badly. How is he going to do that to ShamWife? He had to stick to the ShamWow script but that “hug” on DS set shows you how he really feels. So he tolerated her while thinking, “Fine, get your supply.” But I don’t think he counted on her ramping it up to the level that she did. This apparently included taking a second set of photos in one location with what may have been a body double and loanerbb. BC better call his lawyers fast, she fucked him over big time…
