But on a serious note im quite sure she wasn't a goddess before she ate the fruit. Some translation changes and/or mixes words around.

The goddess was going to destroy a planet sized dimension with a massive truth seeking ball.

To me the "goddess" claim serves as more evidence that she wasn't human. She may have ate the fruit to gain the third eye so she can put people in a Genjutsu.

Btw, Hagoromo said that Kaguya was stronger than anyone. The would include the Juubi he faced which he didn't know was his mother. So when merged with the Shinju she got weaker?
