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"
Theft of her revenue. I don’t know that she could get it to a criminal level but civil probably.

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.
But Google isn't taking it down for any reason, they're giving someone else the revenue for the young woman's work.
