First off, you misread what i wrote. All I was saying was be sympathetic. Being aware of her emotional despair and treating her politely as a result is not saying you caused any of it. She is the cause of her own issues by modeling and signing a release of the rights. My advice is solid because it suggests working with the model to help achieve a mutually acceptable resolution.

I do agree that you have to be considerate to her irrationality and choose words carefully.

This is all mute though because the OP is an affiliate and he only has limited rights to use the content and does not own it outright so the right thing to do is to refer the model to FTV to deal with the issue if they own the content rights.
Overall in the big picture, it is a moot point, however the OP was asked a simple favor where acquiescing would be no skin off his back. It's seeming more like an affiliate feeling a sense of power, or a well tailored promotional post, than an actual person wanting advice.
