This new (to me) information is very disturbing and it brings me this question. I don’t know what the halacha is about hating DF in particular because I don’t know anything about her that isn’t third party (or more) and I haven’t presented the shaila. I am admittedly uninformed and therefore hating her message, her behavior etc. But let’s say I AM supposed to hate HER herself; my question (really asking, not taking a position) if she did tshuva, in a way that we would have no right to question, would we still have to hate her? And if the answer is yes, does that imply that it wasn’t HER we were hating in the first place?

I am not interested in being attacked for asking, I am not defending DF or her defenders, I am not arguing with anyone’s opinion. I am just curious to know how tshuva, and our obligations fit in to this picture.
