“This show, these people, it’s a disaster in my life,” said Kamylla, who spent weeks waiting for the promised assistance, quickly running out of money to support herself, her husband, and her children. They gave her a $200 fee and then did not follow through on promises of medical, dental, housing, and employment assistance, she told BuzzFeed News. “I kept on calling them, and nothing happened.”
Kamylla hesitated to put up another ad for her services because she thought she wouldn’t get help if she started doing sex work again; desperate for money, Kamylla said she put up an ad and was arrested shortly thereafter on prostitution charges.

Fucking bastards - but I am not surprised. 200$ for being outed on national TV for being a prostitute. They only went along because they thought they are going to get a couple grand, some preliminary help, maybe housing help etc.
Instead they got a measly 200$ and their faces plastered on TV for all their trouble.

Even the text is worded like a fake ad that they "may" have gotten all that - but of course they may not have gotten nothing.
Never trust the media and those White Knighting bastards.
I remember when the Eliott Spitzer affair came out that the guy actually helped 2 of those Russian girls to move to the UK, he helped them get a job and gave them decent cash. Sure - he fucked them well, but he let them also stay in his suite on his dime and then got them off safely. If you have some money and means you can aid girls easily to get out of abusive pimp relationships.
Most women are just in dire circumstances and it takes much more than 200$ and empty promises to get them a new life. I am certain that many of the women on the show were bottom-of-the-barrel and had plenty of other serious problems like drug abuse, stark poverty, no education, past their prime etc. It's one thing Eliott Spitzer helping hot but poor 18 year old 9s to find a new life in London, it's a completely different ball-game to aid a hooker down on her luck and beaten up by life.
What I despise more than White Knights is fake White Knights with empty promises.
