Hurt people hurt people. If she’s angry and mean it’s probably because she fears a loss or feels betrayal by you. Did she need you to be there for her when they split up? She might still have feelings for her ex or maybe is jealous that you have something she doesn’t that seems more appealing to them in a partner. I think you should acknowledge that you are risking your friendship with her by dating her ex and that you don’t want to abandon or hurt her. Ask her how she’s feeling about it and then never mention their name again in any conversation going forward. This is a boundary to be respected regardless of how “over them” she may appear. Just my 2 cents.
