That feels pretty minuscule.

I agree it's depressing story. She had met her dream of a debut with a major publisher, then it spiraled. I will say that part of the issue was that she targeted POC authors who were popular in Romantasy, which was another way she was flagged and objected to. This adds another odd element to the unstable actions she was taking.
