Working with a performative ally

I was headhunted for a role in a team where my work is sponsored by another area of the business. The sponsor, a woman who’s relatively new to the company but has a strong industry reputation, claims to support women but her actions say otherwise. Instead of offering proper feedback, she constantly undermines my work, making it seem like everything I do is wrong. She’s even tried to drag me into other colleagues’ drama and has belittled my experience without actually taking the time to understand my background. Despite her claims of championing women, her behavior feels more like performative allyship. I’m exhausted and mentally drained, and I’m not sure how to handle working with someone like this. How do you navigate a situation like this at work?
