Is the poster here using 「悪く言うと」in a positive sense here?

OR

Is「八方美人」 used as a negative word and 「悪く言うと」shows the negative sense/meaning?

Is 「悪く言うと」 used in a positive sense here?
Although there is a literal definition of 八方美人 [どこから見ても欠点のない美人 (from
三省堂スーパー大辞林) 'perfectly beautiful from all angles'], this phrase is usually
used in an idiomatic way, with a negative connotation. It's a pejorative term
describing someone who is insincere because they pretend they are everyone's
friend and never show their true feelings. They only show other people a
friendly front and you don't get to see or hear what they are really thinking.
In other words, the 'beauty from all angles' is considered to be fake.
