More details to this question:
The person I hired to do my engagement shoot canceled last minute and lied about why she had to cancel. I caught her in the lie and we are in the process of getting our money back from her. To leverage getting our money back, I told her I wouldn't post the story online. However, I still want to post the story to warn others. The story isn't a lie, I would just be going against my word to her that I wouldn't tell the public.

You had a dispute. You settled the dispute by agreeing not to post any story in exchange for a refund. That's a contract. If you post the story, you would be breaching your contract with her and could be liable for any damages she suffers from the posting.
