📝 AITAH for ignoring my brother-in-law's girlfriend for trying to fight with me over the internet?

For context, I'm 24 and my husband is 31. My brother inlaw is (29) with her girlfriend (28). Obviously both much older and must be very mature for their age.

I just started a small business (1 year now) and at the time, we we're really looking for a vacant room for rents around the area. They do have an empty room but I don't want to be the first to initiate my relocation there because I understand that this is not our place. (btw, my husband and i live separately from his family, but there's a connecting garden to the main house which owned by his grandmom).

My husband's family asked me to move my business to the empty room, to which we did because at the time we really needed a space for my business and I am still saving for rent. (I am an artist)

Then this girlfriend randomly started ranting on the internet, where I can see them. I did not expect it to be directed for me until it showed me hints and it was pertaining to my recent "move" to the empty room in the house. I have no idea why she is so upset but I know for the fact that this empty space is not gonna be mine permanently and that we're only occupying it for now just to help me start my career as an artist.

My husband was really hurt because it caused "issue" between him and his little brother and it took awhile before they started speaking to each other again.

I really hate beefs with family so what I did was just removed her from my socials and moved on.

Last Christmas, it was awkward because she was with us celebrating (she's not even a catholic lol) and we not speaking as I refused to speak to her (I act like i dont see her) and she didnt even want to attempt to speak to me.

She messaged me for the last time saying she sent me a request to my social media. I still refused to talk to her since then. Everyone in the family knows and understand and unfortunately, this girl also had a problem with few girl friends of my husband and even my husband's ex girlfriend had beef with her because of the attitude.

Am I the asshole for ignoring her?
