Now here's a report from Us magazine suggesting some family members are actually trying to profit from her difficulty, asking for certain perks in exchange for giving interviews.

No one has asked me for any money; the AJC doesn't pay people to interview them. It's not at all unusual for magazines to pay for stuff though - celebrity wedding photos and baby pictures are often published through exclusive contracts.
