Fame and fortune for the one doing it, not the ones sitting at home waiting to rake in the ducats. There is the disconnect. She does (or in this case, nearly does), and her parents try to capatilize on it. I am not against making money, but there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed. They crossed it.
Your differentiating between “she” and her parents is where you may have missed a critical factor.
That factor, seemingly unknown to you, is called “family”.
