I would subtly mention it to your boss or a senior leader. Not as a formal grievance but just mention in passing in a 1:1 so that they are aware of the behaviour, and you can position it as asking for advice on how to navigate it
I have a person like this in my company too and they are a nightmare but I brought it to the attention of my manager and the CMO and they helped me manage it and helped insulate me from this person’s influence so I can still deliver the right outcomes without all that noise
I’d try to understand if this is their working tone/style, some people do come off abrasive without realizing it. And then take a step back and see if there was merit to their push back or critiques, even if the delivery was unprofessional. That can be common ground moving forward. I.e., noting that you understand their comments but would like to refocus on solutions and path forward to ensure the project continues with momentum.
