she was dating the founder

No. She was not "dating the founder". She was a founder.

Your position isn't "controversial"; it's based on a broken and insulting premise. Please stop pushing it.

You said she was "dating the founder" and "brought on to handle their marketing", and now you're "not belittling her role"?

You're in no position to criticize someone else's "wording" and "tone". Please stop.

I'm just curious why you think these are "odd" parts of her personality, particularly when you've said elsewhere in this comment and elsewhere that this role and these skills are very necessary for a business and she's made a huge impact on the company?

She is a founder of YC, BTW - that's what it means to be a co-founder. You could just as easily say that PG was dating the founder of YC, and she made use of his technical expertise and that of his friends in judging startups.
