According to her and Shane, RT cut her out completely after his death when she was involved in RWBY from the beginning(however inappropriately). Given that their only recourse would have been to try taking RWBY's IP from RT(which would have involved likely killing the show as they couldn't afford the resources to actually keep making it without RT)  The community can understand that taking her side ultimately hurts our own interests.
