Agreed. And at her level, I'd expect she had a good agent and freedom. And she always works via lawyers so I'm sure it's all possible. I just like throwing stuff in there when we're all madly speculating. A lot of agents these days have complained they are having a much harder time getting things taken out of contracts.
