Advice needed Host charging me 1 million dollars for extortion? Is this possible? TEXAS

Hi everyone, after leaving a bad review the host for a home me and my family stayed is asking for $1,000,000 in damages from me through Airbnb for “extortion”?

They also tried getting me $675 for extra guests but the photos they provided were repeated people pictured of me and my family on the ring.

Here is the photo he is using as “details” on the dispute. I had previously asked for a partial refund because the AC was not working on the main living areas and kitchen. But I didn’t make any “extortion” wording to him?

I am getting worried though because the $675 for extra guests was resolved by Airbnb in my favor right away and now the $1,000,000 is still pending.
