Nice or not nice?

I used to have this coworker who was not so famous in the office. Let's call her G. G was a tough manager and everyone disliked her strict aura. But she was really nice to me. It was just that everyone hated her and I didn't want to be labeled as the manager's pet. Or something like that. So when they started talking about G behind her back, I just stayed quiet. I know that was so 
Then fast forward to now, I and two of my present colleagues were talking about our previous companies, coworkers, stuff like that. Then I asked them if they knew G. And I was really surprised because they knew her and started singing praises about her. That she was really nice, and kind, and that they love her. I was like, are we talking about the same G? And yes we were. It turned out G was really nice to them. Come to think of it. G was also nice to me. I was just caught in the middle back then. 
Anyway, I took a photo of us three and sent G that photo. We are still connected on FB.
How about you? Do you know anyone who is hated by everyone but is actually nice in person?

@sol_cee I know several mean people - my last boss was one... but she wasn't nice to anyone and I don't know how she got her job. She was fired a few months before I was.
Not a whole lot going on here. I need to wash the dishes and make supper after while. What are you doing?

I think of this fellow skater we knew . . . people either really liked her, or really hated her. I think some were envious of her because she was in her early 40s and living off a huge family inheritance - happily married, nice house, could travel to skate, do whatever she wanted all day - just lived a charmed life. But she was also extremely moody - she could be nice or mean to you depending on how she felt. So even though she had many friends - even me - there were times when she just wasn't a pleasant person to be around. Turned out she had some rare brain disease (which may have contributed to her moodiness) and she passed away by her mid 40s.

You are so kind. My husband surely gains to be known, he looks very strict and grumpy, but he is a very nice person.

Not exactly the same situation. But yes, I have seen people judging someone too quickly with few of their traits. It's rightly said that "Don't judge a book by it's cover.". One might be a tough manager but a kind person.

@sol_cee Actually certain things spread like fire through word of mouth. And people make a prejudice view.
