It is not an isolated case, sadly. I saw a video on TikTok that doesn't even mention Lily (not even indirectly, it just criticises influencers in general), and many comments were citing her. Targeting Lily simply because she is Jewish, or visited Israel years ago, or because of whatever her sister posted on social media is cruel and a very real example of antisemitism.
In general terms, agree with you that, if we are not aligned with the lifestyle that an influencer presents on social media, unfollowing and simply moving on/ignoring them is just the best thing to do.

I think calling harrasment one tiktok mentioning her, that has so little traction that literally only one poster here came accross it, is a bit of stretch.
On the other hand, I'm not very keen on blaming and shaming publically people for their opinions. I've been unfollowing influencers and artists silently, having people commenting hours on end "you dissapointed me" feels a bit meh. People make choices, ignorances or partisanism is a choice; if they don't align with your own ethos, unfollow, stop supporting them, and let people fall into irrelevancy. Parasocial relationships are very scary, cause you'll never really know who's the person underneath the pr machine.
