Yup, I agree with Silas. Old-Seph had a full list of reasons to dislike her beyond those in TEA: her death and rebirth, the "casual timing" of her reappearance, the disregard to the proper channels to reach the Throne, etc.
Her ascension to Empress is way beyond what many amarrians would consider appropriate. Fortunately, those things are now a matter of the past, and we can focus on other sides of her in order to decide to back her if we so wish, but we also have munitions enough for those who would frown upon her ICly without breaking the OOC/IC barrier.
