The most plausible explanation is that her publicist told her that she was becoming a national laughing stock and that if she didn't tell the world it was a joke she'd forever after be known as the poop queen.

Yes, but only if you accept as a given that the original comments weren't a joke. We don't know that to be a fact so other explanations are still in the running.
