I think those comments (insinuations) were BS, she was AFAIK fairly popular when she was at SSDS, so her opening her own shop (at a time when many people reckon market is already oversaturated, and when getting enough foot traffic is becoming problematic for many shops) I wouldn't be surprised there were shop owners inclined to tar her personally (by posting such BS) in order to somehow 'protect' their business..

Long shot, but it would not surprise me..
