Tiger is selling her pics but few people have paid to buy. Astina just tried to rub it in by announcing she's not buying after seeing Karen in person.

Maybe LZ's explaination is not completely accurate.

rub it in = to keep reminding sb of sth they feel embarrassed about and want to forget ( from Oxford Dictionary)

For example,
I know I was stupid; you don’t have to rub it in.
