Scout feels sorry for her because she doesn't have anyone to take care of her. She doesn't get any love from anyone in her family. This also applies to how Atticus told Scout to never judge anyone until you stand in their shoes. So before Scout hated Mayella because Mayella was going to get Tom Robinson killed because of her own pity guilt, Scout tried to fully understand where she was coming from.

Mayella had no social status and if she where to start it off with her kissing a black man she would be a bigger reject then Atticus when he chooses to defend Tom Robinson.
