Perpetrators like this work on the fact that they can talk down the victims. As you say gaslighting.
It takes a strong person to stand up to them, but thst eventually makes them go away. It’s also helpful to call out their behaviour. Tell them they are a bully and thst the actions they display are unacceptable and need to change.
Its sort of using the same tactics as they use, but is forces them to defend themselves rather than attacking the victims.
Just keep telling them that the behaviours they use are not acceptable. Tell them thst you will not engage with them until they change.
Easier said than done but set the boundaries you want, not their boundaries
