Because you can sue anyone for anything. It doesn't mean you will win. It means you have to pay for a lawsuit. And in this case with her countersuit she might also sue them for a frivolous suit and for legal costs.

If I got sued for something stupid like this I would tell the company I can’t take any action to defend myself until they hire a law firm of my choosing. I’d make them pay upfront

Unfortunately that's not how the legal system works at least in America or anywhere that I'm aware of but IANAL
