How to remove phishing spam from the Apple Calendar?

I have an entree on my calendar that has a long list of emails from China and my apple email. I though I had deleted it but it keeps coming back. Most articles on clearing this type of scam off of the calendar, deal with iPhone so many of the "click on ..., then click on..." items don't exist in my iMac's calendar. I cannot delete it and malware programs can't find it. I have attached a copy of the entree as seen in the upper left corner of my Calendar. My OSX is Monterey 12.2.1.

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 12.2

Thanks barberlives123. I ended up getting on my iPad and found that Calendar also had the same phishing/spam listed with dozen overseas email address, and mine. Since the only solutions I had found up to that point were for the iPhone, I applied it to the iPad and was able to get rid of it. I made a new calendar, named it spam, dragged the spam appointment to the new folder, then deleted it. It then went away. I came back to my iMac and when I pulled up the calendar, the spam went away there, too. Thanks for the response.
