On what grounds? Google's terms of service say they can take down anything they want for any reason. If someone starts a copyright case you can go go court, but all this is carefully/legally designed such that there is no downsides to "mistakes"
But Google isn't taking it down for any reason, they're giving someone else the revenue for the young woman's work.
Defamation and/or tortious interference possibly?
There are lots of options - if you have a few million dollars to pay the lawyers. If you win you get that back. Sometimes lawyers will accept cases on pay only if you win - but generally only if they are sure of winning which this doesn't seem to me. Still check with a lawyer if you want to consider it.
