She took none of the prize fund. She took money offered to her that would have fallen into the prize fund if she refused...good on her for taking the cash!
That's actually not a world away from taking from the prize fund. The money being offered comprises of the money deducted from the prize fund in the first place. Anyone who chooses to take the money for themselves rather than putting it back into the prize fund ("back into" being the important part) is essentially taking from the prize fund IMO.

Of course, I don't have an issue with her choice, I'd have done the same. But then, I wouldn't have spent the past week being all high-and-mighty about it either.
