There's no law against it at that stage, so they wouldn't have been able to stop her. If it went to court then she would be accountable if she talked about it.I'm surprised the police would allow her to do a story, especially with the allegations being for domestic assault and coercive control.
I think this is how she gets away with so much, she just pushes and stretches every law and boundary to the max. She also doesn't seem to feel any shame or empathy which most people would... and be mortified by their behaviour. So she just ignores every rule and punishment handed to her. At some stage this is not going to work anymore.
