Yeah, from what I read she didn't even want this to go to court. She told the guys employer what happened, and the employer took it upon themselves to fire him over it.

He then sued her for something like $3M claiming that she lied and cost him his job and further career opportunities.

I'm not entirely sure the point of the countersue.

It's basically just to send the message of "no, grabbing people's asses is not okay," and set clear legal precedent for that message. Suing for a mere dollar was to ensure people couldn't just accuse her of exaggerating emotional damages for a quick cash-in, which people absolutely do when women try to sue for sexual harassment/assault. He was in the wrong, and she took this opportunity to make sure as many people as possible knew that.
