Grimshaw is the apparent cause of the ruckus, being hired as acquisitions's editor at Tisdale's current company.
There was no issue until after Grimshaw surfaced there and got on twitter. Then they went after her, Tisdale, and the book. In that order, apparently.
Did you check this above?

Hi everybody, it's me, Suzan Tisdale and I decided to do a live video so that you could see my face, hear my tone of voice. Sometimes when we write things, you can write one sentence that can be taken twenty different ways by twenty different people and I want to try to avoid that. So this is regarding Sue Grimshaw and the little fiasco, I guess is what we could call it, that's going on regarding Sue. This all started because Sue liked a tweet by Diamond and Silk.

I'd quote more but it gets very political very fast.
Which is why it all smells of non-literary. A bad historical characterizarion doesn't by itself start a mess now watched on both sides of the Atlantic.
This is not about an author complaining about a review.
