aox,

Her very clear statement shifts almost all of the blame for the inaccuracy in use of the word solo to the media doing the reporting.

She ups the temperature by adding twists of alleged misogyny, jealousy, and a smear against an erstwhile colleague.

The press may or may not be good at fact-checking before printing a good yarn, but let's not forget that she and her sponsors all retained the services of professional PR.

The use of the word solo is sometimes attributed to her in direct quotes, including on video.

So the blame-shifting excuses about other people misusing the word solo, and her counter-complaint that people are falsely and maliciously claiming she passed it off as such, seem unfortunately rather more like further obfuscation than injections of unambiguous clarity.
I completely agree. Either she, or someone advising her, has considerable expertise at the technique of answering a minor part of the allegations in great detail while ignoring the rest.
