It's not like Dev was a complete toxic guy. But to some extent he is... He is more of a hypocrite.
He has called his father-in-law 'buddha' behind his back several times post leap. He snatched Sonakshi's award in a business meet as Sonakshi credited her ex-husband for her victory in TV live. He doubted Sonakshi's friendship with Jatin and shamed her character despite the separation. Ironically Dev used to have room at hotel and visits every week with his set of girl friends.
Before leap, he did nonsense like stalking and spying on Sonakshi.
His character didn't recieve massive outrage from the audience for two reasons. One is his massive fandom which hypes whatever he does (yes, his fans justified everything Dev did even during the separation time and put the blame on Sonakshi). Two is, these traits are not downright unrealistic. These things happen and these things suited the characterization of Dev.
