I think the a lot of the hate for Froome originates from his perceived backstabbing/grand-standing at not being let off the leash when riding for Wiggins which made him seem disloyal. Wiggo not getting to defend his title in Froome's favour also came across as pretty cold.
I think his wife poured a lot of petrol on that fire with her quite offensive twitter politiking, but since she's since deleted that AndyP now has a platform for 'thinly veiled misogyny and zero evidence' luls. Truth is, nobody involved in that debacle came off well, neither Wiggo, Froome, Cath or the Cound, and how you perceive it is likely going to come down to which side you favour.
