It would be very hard for her to twist everything you say, and paint you in a bad light, if you refuse to engage.

People who thrive on chaos and crazy-making behavior are stymied when they can't get a response. If anger, shouting, and tension are her "rewards" for her behavior, the only way to punish her (AKA make it not beneficial to act that way) is to give her a blank-faced unruffled look in return.

She will escalate her behavior to get the response she's looking for. Give her no response at all, not good nor bad, just indifferent.

She will therefore leave you in peace, in search of another victim. And your coworkers will be witness to this behavior, and notice you are not engaging at all, just in case there are punitive actions from higher up.
