1.) yes, she faked his outbursts, threatening to kill her dogs, leveraging finances, trying to coerce her into threesomes...not once, but at this point twice
2.) he threatens to burn the money as a leverage to keep her under control. He tells her: If I can't have it, no one will
3.) If she wanted to drop him, why didn't she after the phone call, when she had all the sympathy on her side? The money went to his head, that's the reality.
4.) the revenue only started to go down after the reveal, so this doesn't even make sense. (how many people do you think unsubbed once they learned that she is abused? I bet a ton).
