It doesn't help that she posted "Go hard or go home. A win is a win" while getting an IV immediately afterwards.

Yeah I think she didnt exactly have a clear mind after winning a professional competition while sick and leaking diarrhea everywhere. But yeah it does make her sound very arrogant and disrespectful.
