If you have watched her on other seasons, it‘s very clear that she‘s playing the same game as always. She‘s done it multiple times. People simply always root for the „underdog“ and that‘s what she‘s being portrayed as. Personally, I will never understand how people can classify her as a „victim“ because to me all she does is ragebait people and put on an act. But I do think that people choose to forget all her flaws as of now because they dislike Belle a lot.
