Sugar was my #3 (behind Jasmine and Scarlett) until her last 2 episodes. Before then, she was a solid comic character--basically Owen 2.0, but funnier than Owen due mainly to having less toilet humor--but her stock dropped in my eyes after Max/Scarlett left, when the writers shoehorned Sugar into a main antagonist role that she wasn't really suited for and amped up the toilet/gross-out humor. Perhaps I had an advantage in not being familiar with the parody object, so I could evaluate the character on its own merits. (Hearing that Sugar was a Honey Boo Boo parody was the first time I'd ever heard of Honey Boo Boo.)

Sugar's (mis)treatment of Ella was clearly rooted in distrust. In one of her confessionals, I think, Sugar came right out and said that she didn't trust someone who was that perky and happy all the time, and she may have said explicitly that she though it was an act.
