Most journalists trying to investigate this story would attempt to interview Annie Altman. The base rate (converted to whatever heuristic the journalist used) would be influenced by whether she agreed to the interview and if she did how she came across. The reference class wouldn’t just be “estranged family members making accusations against celebrity relatives”.
She also makes claims that can be factually checked. When it comes to the money from her dad’s there are going to be legal documents that describe what happened in that process.
