The movie would have been bad, but she likely would have walked off unscathed from it. The alien face girl from Little Mermaid not too long ago did by being mostly quiet about the controversy and just letting the movie pass instead of trying to provoke people constantly.
It also probably did make the film do worse, simply because people then had a more vested interest in making it fail beyond just "this shouldn't exist." So there was more discussion about its problems, more focus on its various faults, and just more pictures of her which is enough to put people off the film.
Whereas most of us can only recall that one screenshot from Little Mermaid of her midsong, because it spoke for itself and people instead just laughed it off.
