She was largely the victim of lies told by the revolutionaries, including the cake line.

perhaps you could elucidate on the misperceptions of her “Traumatic Disconnect Syndrome”. did she or did she not Lord her position in the aristocracy over the heads of the peasant class?

Even before the Revolution started, she was very unpopular. The nobles at Versailles hated her and spread scandalous stories about her (most of them probably completely invented). That she was Austrian did not help—the recent war in which France had been an ally of Austria had ended with defeat for France.
