Any way to counter or reverse review bombing / brigading against directing work?

I must have made someone mad in the real world and they have elected to take out their frustrations by putting together a crew of 15 to 18 individuals and review bombing almost all my directorial work with 1 and 2 star reviews. No actual written review, just the selection of 1 and 2 stars. I know this is a targeted attack because this includes films that are currently not being shown anywhere publicly, but recently accumulated the group of 1 star reviews over the past month. With the exception of the film "The City of Gold," which is a widely released film and already had a fairly low score, the other titles "The Redeemer," and "Hellblazer" had much higher averages prior to the review bombing. Is there anyway to appeal this or have this investigated? Besides my own reputation, I feel the vandalizing of the scores is more harmful to all the other cast and crew who proudly put in hard work on these small projects in an effort to land bigger gigs and roles. Any and help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much! Link to my imdb page here - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4584229/?ref_=fn_all_nme_1
