Critical comments started flooding her post, with one person commenting, "If she really wasn't a bully, would she have really needed to 'reflect on her past'? Lol", while another shared, “She already admitted that she 'enjoyed rebelling', so isn't it game over for her at this point? Would a normal student really enjoy rebellious behavior? Or would a bully be more likely to enjoy rebelling?"There were also comments about how the actress has managed to grow up and turn over a new leaf. One person posted, "She's reflecting on her mistakes and living a good life now, so it shouldn't be a big deal anyway”, while another netizen’s comment about the star read, “I don't like bullies either... But ‘school violence’ usually means things like extortion, or actual verbal or physical violence. If she didn't do any of that and was just rebellious in general, then I don't think that's something that should end her career".
