Confused European here :) Is there a reason they pretend she has been fired for bad performance, instead of just admitting management decided to fire X%?

What makes you think she has not been fired for performance? She has had 0 sales in 5 months according to her own video.

Do you think it's impossible to fire a sales person for performance reasons in under 6 months then?
