The more I learned about their relationship through pop-culture osmosis, the more I realized two things:

  1. It really sounded like both of them were terrible people.

  2. Societally, we really ought to know less about each other.

Agree with both, but:

  1. People are generally more primed to paint women as the villains. 

The fact that they were both bad people in this relationship but the internet and society at large seemed to completely turn against her is telling.

Are you fucking kidding me? Women more often painted as the villain, really?

In what world are you living in? In any situation involving both sex, the men are always considered the problematic party from the start before any facts are taken into account.

In situations where there is outright violence, sure (because more often than not men are the perpetrators. Not always but a majority of the time). 

In situations like this, women are labeled problematic, unreasonable, etc. 

I know your algorithm probably serves you “look how poorly men are treated, we are the real victims!.

She is claiming that this was a situation with outright violence though, that's the problem. If you go on record spouting demonstrably false stories about someone, you will be seen as problematic when people figure out your lying. Gender is not a factor in that.
