Then you have to remember that she is actually molded in the japanese style of group collab dynamics. In JP, it's usual (and even expected) to interject frequently (aizuchi) as it shows you're listening. Interrupting if there's a joke opportunity, talking over each other and getting fired up is also not seen as seen as "rude" as in the west but rather what the nips think makes for an entertaining to watch group dynamic for the audience. And also a lot of japanese comedy tends to naturally gravitate into a tsukkomi-boke mindset: someone says something stupid, someone retorts bluntly, everybody laughs. And Kiara fills both roles as necessary. If there's an opening for a retort, she takes it (which again, if you don't know what this is supposed to be, can come off as just being a rude and bitchy to westerners), or if no one is offering, she's not afraid to make herself the fool and invite the others to make fun of her (which, if they don't, just makes her look stupid).
See also her pushing for batsu games, funny "punishments" for losing a game, which is another staple of JP entertainment. No japanese Holo for example would ever complain about this, for example, they know what to do and join in, but if you have only westerners who don't play along, it falls flat and comes off very poorly and arkward (see for example the Puyo collab where Mori was a total stick in the mud about it, or the infamous shitshow from the Uno collab. In HoloJP it would've been no problem and everybody has fun when the losers of a round have to go "babu babu" or "ooga booga" for the next game, they all play along, but apparently the rest of the ENs aren't quite there yet). That's why so many of Kiara's JP collabs work better than her EN group ones, the JPs know what she's doing, because she's doing the japanese entertainment style they're all familiar with, so it's much less arkward.
Now, of course, it's totally fair to say then well Kiara is still at fault for trying to use the "wrong" mentality in a different setting where it doesn't work and that she should adapt to them, not the opposite way, but she has gotten better at adjusting. Sure, maybe not totally perfect and fast enough that the haters who already set their opinion in stone from a bad first impression and don't give the chance to reconsider her.
