It's hard to pinpoint a specific moment with Andrea that could be seen as an insult, because really it's the entire way the character was handled, especially during the show's second and third seasons.

Andrea is a firm fan-favourite of comic book readers, and with good reason: she's level-headed, a great survivor, and enjoys loving relationships first with Dale and later Rick that flesh out both her and her partners and make her an important and enjoyable part of the story, as well as being a total badass.

In the TV show all of that is gone, replaced with a character desperate to make decisions but lacking any such logic to do so, and one who does almost nothing but whinge and make mistakes, from accidentally shooting Daryl (ok, THERE'S the one specific moment) to hopping into bed with the Governor. Andrea should've been a mainstay on the show for years - indeed, she should still be there now - but instead, her death was almost more of a relief, albeit one that served as a reminder of how much they'd f**ked the character up and was a pretty weak send-off itself.
