I read somewhere (but have no verification of this fact to offer) that the person in the picture isn’t even the one doing this and it’s a weird stalker / revenge situation going on here.
According to a thread I read the other day, the Peertube stream the message links to is just a video of her on a loop. I don’t think the person in the photo is the one doing this, it’s either revenge porn or a scammer who just happened to use this pic and video.
I guess that’s possible, but it seems like a very strange way to do it.
I think more likely it’s a test of the resilience of the fediverse in preparation for a more valuable scam later, using whatever footage the person could get (not necessarily themselves, but not stalker or revenge, either).
If by “having issues” you mean “got banned for spamming”, then I agree with you.

that’s what I was thinking too, seeing that her head is sideways, not looking into the camera or even under it like to a screen
