Hi,
First thing I would do is go to settings > discussion and set it so that first time comments are held in moderation. That is your first level of defense. After you have approved a comment, then their subsequent comments will post without moderation.
On that same page, scroll down to the “blacklist” area. Enter their username, email address, and if they included one, their website address. Do not use their IP address as IP addresses are no longer unique in the majority of cases, so blocking an IP address might blog other users. Also, they can always to to a wi-fi hotpsot and come with a different IP.
If they trick you and send in a nice comment to get you to approve it and then start blasting away, turn full comment moderation on (all comments held in moderation until approved.
Secondly plz try to remove a follower by going to My Site > People and clicking the remove link next to their name. However, know that they can subscribe again.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks :)

Hi. @shini1509 is right, if you’re trying to stop someone from commenting follow her instructions. But unfortunately you can’t stop someone from ‘Liking’ a public post:
Hi there,
I know that this is frustrating, but since your sites are public anyone with a WordPress.com account can use the Like button.
My suggestion is to just ignore them as they are usually trying to get your attention.
