📝 AITAH for scolding my mom (a landlord) after one of her tenants threatened to sue her over a post she made?

So my mom is a landlord. Not like mega-rich owns-50-properties kind of landlord, just a few units she rents out. But she loves to vent on Facebook. Like, way too much. Every time a tenant is late on rent or makes a mess or is just mildly annoying, she posts about it. No names, but the stories are always super specific.

I’ve told her before to chill with that stuff. She always says, “I’m allowed to share my experiences.” Cool. But this week one of her tenants saw the post, figured out it was about them (because again, very specific) and now they’re threatening to file a cyber libel case.

So I got mad. I told her she needs to stop using her Facebook like it’s burn book. She got defensive and said I was being disrespectful. I said she’s being reckless. It turned into a whole argument where she accused me of “taking the tenant’s side.”

I’m just tired of watching her create messes she doesn’t need to. I get she’s stressed, but posting about it online? What’s the point?

Anyway, now she’s giving me the silent treatment and my aunt messaged me saying I “shouldn’t talk to my mom like that.”

AITAH?
