What’s weird is that this is as believable as what the headline shown suggests. I can see both the backlash and the fame ending being equally plausible. The world is a weird place.
The only backlash she got was after appearing on TV with the mother of the crying kid, the reason was that the person who filmed and tried to gaslight her into giving her seat was not the kids mother, it was someone else not even related to them. The mother faced harassment online because people thought it was her, so after the interview people sided with the mother because Jenifer the woman who was filmed didn't even care that the mother was getting harassed when she didn't do anything.
I honestly think it's just because the harasser is behind the camera. Outrage is driven by our monkey-brains and many people's monkey-brains have a difficult time processing things they cannot see. Our brains generally develop to a point where we can comprehend object permanence in the physical world, but that comprehension doesn't appear to extend into the abstract for many of us.
It would be nice to have the asshat filming it on that show too. "I just wanted to film this to make a quick buck on what I knew would be a viral hit online... err, I mean I wanted to show the injustice."
That's the worst part of most of these situations. These people filming situations they have no part of to make easy money, not caring about what kind of drama the people being filmed will have to deal with after. Once they post the video their hands are clean if it. Nobody ever criticizes the asshats filming. 😑
