I suspect in part she gets the attention she craves by being "controversial". But when recently describing her Cambridge University days she said some of the ( later to be ) Monty Python crew and other males were "absolute shits" to her at that time so she has a long track record of not getting on with ( at least some ) people.
John Cleese ( one of the alleged "absolute shits" ) exercised his right of reply and took the opportunity to call her Miriam Gargoyles so he wasn't exactly interested in smoothing things over with her.
