Why is my manager still trying to mess with my head three months after I left the company?

I worked at a company for around six months before I got so sick of my manager bullying me so I left the company. During my time there my manager made my life a living hell. Nothing I did was ever right or good enough, and she would jump at any opportunity to tell me that I was wrong or that I couldn’t do the work, even though I am qualified to Masters level and it was a low grade admin role.

There were numerous times whilst I worked there that my manager would make it known that she wanted me gone from the company. In my three month probation meeting she threatened to have my employment terminated at six months, and so after that because I was worried about losing my job I reached out for support and contacted a member outside of the team. After she found out that I got in contact with him she made my work life even worse. She started micromanaging me and kept making reference to how I shouldn’t have reached out for support to someone outside the team.

In the work I did together with my manager she would keep using the work to make indirect comments and in a group meeting she would make up a fictional person and then tell me she got fired and look straight at me as she said this.

When I actually handed in my notice and she found out I got a new job elsewhere her behaviour towards me got even worse. She started arranging all these meetings with me just to train me on all these procedures and to have any opportunity to tell me what to do and to tell me that I was wrong and that she was above me. She also made reference to how we were enemies

I wrote a negative review online about my experience and my manager bullying and discriminating against me, and then a couple months later she wrote an anonymous review which contradicted everything I wrote in my review and then put at the end of the review “don’t let poor performing ex employees put you off working here”

What was her problem with me and why is she still trying to mess with my head after I’ve left?
