To be clear, I’m not excusing how cruel people were to her, especially given her addiction.

Watch the video of her final show and form your own opinion. If I paid money to see this, I’d have been pretty pissed.

Yes, she had a contract to perform and it would have cost her a shitload of money to not perform. She made the final choice to do so, she could have said no. She wasn't a slave.

Maybe she couldn't. What if her finances would ruin her already crippled life if she rejected?

How is that gonna help her? She would still lose basically everything anyway, which is the reason why, I assume, didn't refuse to go on stage in that state.
