Seeing it from her point of view, she may have been trying to stick her tongue in cheek and roast him, with no harm intended.

From his point of view he has been labelled fake by Ali, Lily and Nathan - not sure if he is aware of the latter two - called out by Emma (someone else he was close to) for looking in the mirror, and now labelled as superior and self-absorbed by a friend in front of group of people, some of whom have real doubts about his character.

If he is being over-sensitive - I personally don't think he is but fair enough - then I can see why.
