If she was any of those things under that name, for however many years, if her years under the domain are greater than the time that the domain was registered, I would say it is hers.
From what I know, the only way around this, is if you make the stage name for the person, if you make the name for the person and they don't come up with it themselves then it belongs to the owner of the person who came up with the name.
In a case where the domain was registered before the person, you will most likely have to fight it out in court. Easy court case would be if you can prove you had it before the persona was existing. And this is where you get into legal issues that could go either way. Settlement, might be possible, but really, either party could see it worth fighting for and you could end up just spending countless dollars in money.
