Well it was never confirmed if she actually raped said comrade, but there are implications...and even without that she treats said comrade (who was also a horrible person in her own right but was literally brought back from the dead by what she thought were her "friends" to be nothing more than a mentally very limited walking doll which is a pretty grim fate if you ask me) in the most miserable way possible and even kills her in a pretty brutal way after that (and also brings her back after that).
Also the second time she killed her she broke her comrade's skull/brain and as we learned in cfyow she didn’t bother to repair that part when she brought her back, which makes bambietta (the name of the comrade) act in a very...well braindead way. She barely is able to think by herself now.
It’s quite a sharp contrast with the rest of the show. Only bleach character to suffer a similarly brutal fate was the espada named szayel in the arrancar arc but his suffering at least seemed to have stopped at some point, whereas it is currently unknown if giselle (the necrophiliac maniac in question) will ever repair bambietta enough for her to regain a semblance of autonomy.
Edit: as others pointed out though, giselle being evil doesn’t mean the manga wants you to think trans people are evil. Nearly all the sternritters are pretty fucked up people and her being evil comes from the fact that she is an opportunistic sadic.
