Welcome to this brave new world of Internet outrage and virtual lynching.
It's more then lulz. There is some definite bent up frustration with cute, privileged girls that sets the internet trolls on a war path. The obsession some people have with this girl is pretty pathetic.
I think this is a big part of it -- This gal is emblematic of a larger social problem whereby cute little princesses are tacitly encouraged to misbehave, feeding the whole hot/crazy stereotype. Even her tattoo ("Though she be but little she is fierce") speaks to her self-image and persona. Entitled little cuties pull a lot of crap and get away with lots of thing other people don't. Hence the unseemly and perhaps disproportionate glee when this one doesn't get away with this particular bad act.
Does the punishment fit the crime? Dunno. This may be one of the first times one of her tantrums actually got punished. More discipline much earlier would have been much kinder in the end...
