Coworker/”Lead” won’t let me leave work at work

I have been constantly texted about mistakes I have made while I am off the clock by my lead.

Mind you, when she does give “advice” it is often rude. Last night she told me to tell her “if I think it's too much for me to handle.”

Can my boss require me to talk to my coworker/”lead” outside of work hours?
