Well as a person she was quite the polarizing character.
Objectivism takes existence, consciouness and identity and runs from there, a lot of what she said is hard to refute(the test of real-ness).
Not sure why 'fans' would/could take offense from someone's opinion(founded?) , unless of course they were cultists.
To those who don't understand no explanation is possible, and to those who do none is necessary , is that what you mean ?
