Nothing, other than refusing to be bribed or extorted or otherwise intimidated

by this flatulent old cow and allow her to fall into whatever mess that she may create for herself and suffer the consequences, accordingly. (Keep careful notes

as to her threats, e.g., content, date, time, etc. and chronologically ordered

in case some form of litigation ensues.)

You might consider calling the police and an attorney to stop her. If whatever she is doing is not a crime, it should be. Flatulent old cow might be the best you could say about someone like this. Good luck.
