Undoing edits by user Bittersmith

Today, a new Wikipedia user Bittersmith deleted content from the Susan Bitter Smith article.

Two issues:

The username suggests the subject of the article (Susan Bitter Smith) or someone associated with Bitter Smith is behind the user account. Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest policy prohibits users from editing articles about themselves or people they know.
Bittersmith deleted the entire Controversy section of the article. In his/her edit summary, he/she wrote: "These statements were libel and inaccurate". Although the user might feel that the numerous news articles about Susan Bitter Smith were unfair, it does not constitute an acceptable reason to delete the content. The content is based on reliable, published sources per WP:RS. User are not allowed to delete content en masse solely because they do not like it.
