We do all the work for her site, including updating her daily journal, answering her fan mail, and replying to her members on her message board. She now shoots only softcore content.
Show me another 22 year old making $10k monthly for 4 days work?
Tawnee is popular because a team of people have been promoting her day and night for 3 years! She is a success story in an industry that doesn't have enough to go around.

I have to agree with Steve. There is a hell of a lot of work making a single girl site (or any site for that matter) a success. The majority of models have no clue the amount of work it takes and how much money the program has to invest....and the program is taking a risk, the site may not be a success.
I don't know the whole story behind Mandy but she knew getting into it that she may only get paid $250 a month and she agreed to that. Chances are profits are not much at the moment but who is to say that they won't be much bigger down the road if the site becomes very popular.
Someone with two degrees (psych and chem) should be able to find employment that would generate enough funds to cover her rent. That is if she was willing to work a day job. She may be under the impression that being a model, all she should need to do to live the good life is a couple days of work per month....in which case she is sadly mistaken.
I would hope that Mandy decides to talk to them personally and perhaps they could explain the business side of things more so she doesn't feel betrayed as she does now. Perhaps if they showed her how much income her site brought in and then the expenses that had to be paid it would help. Many models don't understand that hosting, office expenses, billing companies, webmaster payouts, design and everything else does not come cheap
