Girls - how serious is it to be accused of being a gold digger?

Anonymous
If you learned that a guy may have implied you are one, if you had feelings for him, would they go away? If not, would that kill any chance?

About a year ago I was talking to my friend about the girl I liked/like, he made a comment regarding gold digging. I told her but I don't know if she misunderstood or if I mis-worded but she got the impression that I called her one. We really didn't talk much about it back then and I didn't think it was a big deal

We started getting close afterward and I asked her out but I was turned down. That caused a lot of drama between us, which is still sort of there to this day.

We were talking the other day about what happened and she just brought up the gold digger comment. I completely forgot about it but she said that it really hurt her and that she's still sort of upset about it

Even though I didn't mean it at all (since I know she isn't), could that have been the reason I was rejected? I mean, it was a year ago and she's still upset about it
