I was going to tell her a 3 way split. With photographer getting 33%, me 33%, and the model 33%. The photographer does a lot of work for his 33%, so I'm ok with that but...
She says she wants 70%, while the photographer and I are supposed to get 15% each.
I'm going to tell her to fuck off, but before I do, I wanted to confirm with you guys.
Thoughts?

Tell her to fuck off. Your 33% is beyond generous. My terms are closer to 20% and requires them working an aggressive schedule of B2C promotions.
I don't want to berate any of the few great models, but in general models are "dime a dozen". A great photographer is worth more than most models can ever offer. They can make a horse look sexy. Backroom editing/photoshop cleans up all the physical defects that the model arrived with, and anything the photographer failed to control (lighting, etc). Remember solid marketing is king, and is more labor intensive in the long run.
