This is my female chilean rosehair, Rosalinda. I have had her for five years, but she was allready rather large when I got her, so I suspect she is older than that. She just molted two weeks ago, and is looking slightly skinny as a result, but she is a very fiesty agressive girl. She was actually a rescue; someone brought her and four others to the zoo I was volunteering at. Apparently, a pet store had been keeping them in plastic cups, and they were all emaciated, parasite-ridden, and one had injured itself trying to molt in the confined quarters. Two died, the zoo kept one, a friend adopted one, and I got Rosie! She was never socialized, and came to me extremely agressive. She's given me a few nasty bites, even, brutal girl that she is. But, if you'd been starved that long, you'd probably see a hand and think "food!" too.

She is nice...
Though when not hungry (IF it is a CB) she shouldnt be agresive but if she was in wery bad condition like you said then she might never recover enogh to be docile...

Hi, I have a Brachypelma Smithi or Mexican Red Knee (Like my avatar, though that isn't actually her), she's still a "teenager" and a gorgeous creature, very gentle except if you're a cricket. CFC is scared of her so that's a bonus too.

She is indeed a chilean rosehair (her head color for some reason got eaten by the flash, but I assure you it is a very brilliant pink), and you are absolutely right; they should be a docile animal. Most others I've met have been. However, I think a lack of handling earlier in her life, and her neglect, have probably ruined her for hand-taming; I tried for a long while, but she simply isn't comfortable with it.
