It's not even that. Read the card text. If you play it out of turn
you're only going to hurt yourself. Media Chick makes the rep for a
successful run worth +10 for each payment, this doesn't give you
anything, it just makes the Objective worth more for your opponent if
he gains it (i.e. Up and Over is now worth 50 if he takes it rather
than 30). He wins and you get nadda. If he's malicious, he'd just pull
out and screw you even more because Media Chick says if the run isn't
completed YOU lose rep. Note that specifially says YOU, not the person
making the run.

So all in all, using your Media Chick on someone else's turn and
someone else's run is either going to make the Objective worth more to
them if they take it, or cost you rep if they don't. A no winner
either way for you.

Why would you want to use her outside of your own turn?
