Phoenix was just looking before she was commenting, "With how much my brother is hated... Who is to say that many don't view me as similar to him." Valid point. That is actually one of the reasons she got locked away as well. A job but a prison all at once. Blamed and seen as vile thanks to her brother - and at that point in time he had made it seem like he was a benevolent person. A lord that everybody trusted and liked, intentionally gaining that trust just for this purpose. Whereas in her case... he had intentionally spread around rumors about her. How she was a cruel person, she abused her staff, and all of this other stuff. It was her word against his - and with the amount of allies he had collected, it had gone in his favor. Even the proof had been doctored but nobody had wanted to listen to her about it.
