Well if they are as detached, or as in control as Grizelda is of their emotions, then she wouldn't be able to draw upon their negative emotions. So in that aspect, her semblance would be rendered ineffective. Just like it'd be ineffective against any robotic opponent, with the exception of Penny.

Now, if she were fighting those types of foes while other people were present, she could simply use the feelings from the spectators to her advantage. No matter how in control someone is of their own emotions, having to deal the emotions of many other human beings would take a toll. Or, if the foe in question were supressing their negative feelings, she could still channel them.
