Sam cashed in and got out, and I don’t think she ever truly or intentionally sold out. She keeps it on her own terms now while still supplementing a living. The difference between her as so many new generation influencers, including Jim and Sarah, is that she has a skill. She’s employable. And most importantly, I don’t believe that she thrives on the attention and adoration.
The reason she came on to her thread is because people were saying that Ryan saw her as a meal ticket and she was bank rolling him. Besides her relationships and children, I don’t think she cares for what the public say… unlike Sarah who claims to be confident in her actions but snipes at any criticism.
