Forced Mazid

Rashi (24:21) says the Torah spells out the name Shlomis bas Divri to tell us only she was a zonah but no one else was.  The Mizrachi asks why is she called a zonah if Rashi in Shemos explains how she was אנוס?  He says even though she didn’t willingly violate an issur, there still was an act of znus so she is called a zonah.  Levush says since it happened because of her being too outgoing and speaking to everyone it called her fault.  Sounds like there arguing if one put himself into a situation where they are susceptible to sin if it’s called a מזידor not.
