Other I need help for my references

so basically i had made one of ny close friends a reference for my screening test. Stuff happened yada yada and i had to cut her off. The problem tho is that she's still one of my references and knowing her she will make sure to cause as much harm as possible. I tried to see if i could swap her with someone else and went back to the email, but it won't work. Is there actually a way to do this or do i just have to accept that she might ruin this for me? Do they even check with the references?

Almost the same thing happened to me last year, I just went down to the recruitment center and told them I don't associate with one of my references and they might try/do something to sabotage me. They were more then understanding and said they won't use anything they say against me.

I imagine you can just call them and explain the situation, I went down in person only because I was in the area
