I would agree if this were a company project, or private organization, but its not, its a public dispute on a public project with a vast audience, and a press hungry for political drama-fueled clicks. I don't think she said anything in this interview that was disrespectful to Linus, or anything other than color commentary. It's sort of like the press conference after a sports game where a player disagreed with the ref during the game and it was picked up on mic, and the press asked her about it after. Her crime is that she took a stand against an authority figure. She might be wrong in the end, and talking to the press CAN be risky, but this specific incident doesn't seem to be all that bad.
