So we can use você here – você é feio – because she is actually being rude, so the rule about it being impolite to address someone with você obviously isn’t relevant?
Yes, that rule of thumb is definitely not relevant in this context – she’s not even trying to be nice. In other contexts in general, it’s definitely good to keep in mind that using ‘você’ directly can *sometimes* be taken as offensive, and so, out of caution, might as well avoid it altogether until you feel confident navigating the applicable social dynamics 🙂
