Because it became her downfall. The whole affair did not include her at all, but she was impersonated by an actress (who was actually a prostitute who looked a lot like her) and the French had already heard such ridiculous rumours about their queen that this sham seemed believable. The French wanted to believe in the wickedness of Marie Antoinette, even though she was perfectly innocent.
