Airbnb Host Is Requesting 50k In Damages For An Accident? [usa]

Hi everyone! I am new to this sub and to reddit in general, so I apologize for any mistakes here.

Location: Nevada, USA

I stayed at an AirBnB a couple weeks ago. The shower handle broke off and began spewing water at like 2AM, and I immediately contacted the host for assistance and called the fire department to shut off the water. I did everything possible to dry the water from the floor, but there was definitely damage.

The host didn’t respond to me until 8AM the next morning despite multiple messages throughout the night for help and immediately started blaming us for the damages.

Now, she is submitting a claim to request $50K in damage fees.

We googled the shower part that broke, and she should have been replacing it every two years especially with renters and she did not do that. We weren’t rough with the shower and all the water fixtures seemed to be stiff and hard to work with, which wasn’t listed in the description of the rental.

I’m pretty nervous right now, does AirBnB usually side with the host in this sort of scenario? Has anything similar happened to any of you? Thank you all in advance for any input you may have!
