I mean, Google spends billions on lobbying and PR, so if you heard anything new and bad about her in the past day or two you gotta wonder. Her job involves ethics, if you're not stirring the pot a bit you're probably not doing ethics and just acting as PR for your company? *Also, while my reply is source/fact free your comment is as well, so I think they're both reasonably at the same level.

What bad info has come out about her, that was not released by her or her allies? I know her from her communications with LeCun, and from the emails she herself (or someone allied with her) leaked, that were posted in the original article outlining her "firing". From those things, I know enough that I would avoid her at all costs because of her toxicity. You can have the loftiest ideals and goals in the world - that doesn't mean you can act with impunity and any action of yours is unquestionably good.

Her own Twitter behavior is testament enough. Unless you think Google has control over that, too.

  Exactly, most new stories bringing up the July Twitter dispute as context for her current firing is extremely polarizing. The story could just be "well known Google ethics research quickly let go over paper dispute" but instead the "also she had an altercation in July which really riled people up." Does the twitter dispute context help as much as her contributions to her field and whatever the specific paper and terms of its publication? No clue personally, but now I know it's a "bad thing" and she's a "rabble-rouser that likely had it coming".

She can stir the pot, but to boil it is another matter. As others have said, she is "toxic". Many of her sentences hurt as they're emotionally charged, but provide no actual value or content. Just crying.

She’s made the front page here before for her Twitter behavior, long before google would have reason to do any conspiracy theory stuff. If anything, when that was news they had the opposite incentive.

I first heard about her by coming across her Twitter thread out of the blow, the night before this firing was posted here. Seeing her going nuclear on Twitter immediately after this went down just seems by default to be behavior which is Not Great.
