I don't think you're interpreting it quite right. In episode 7 she technically proved her loyalty to Korra, but the way it was drawn, the angles and the color scheme, made her look even more suspicious than usual. Intentional or not, it made many fans think they were being tricked again, and that she was secretly evil.

As time went on, the chance of her being evil decreased. Also, she started to lose Mako. Once they realized that she was really a good character because it was too late in the season for her to turn evil, fans looked back and thought, "Oh no, she's lost her mother and her father and her cushy lifestyle, and now her boyfriend too?" And that just seemed like the last straw to them.
