Anyone removed from a project they started would have reason for revenge. As I understand the timeline she was told her role would change, then went public with undocumented complaints and accusations at which point they fire her. (Accusations she has since backtracked on it seems, apparently) If you where told that you where no longer lead on a project at work and your reaction is to email the customers that “the new guys taking over will likely not serve you as well as I have” I expect you’d end up fired as well.
