She probably had some minimum wage low skill job with plenty of people willing to work it. So they can here and replace with someone with no public baggage.
I'll go with overreaction. I don't think she have been fired.
Also, too many vindictive people persecuting her.
I would expect people in Boston to be very sensitive about this. That I can understand. But she's in Michigan.
Stalking and harassing her is way out-of-line.

Kind of shocking in the land of the free. Its halloween after all.
I'm going to defend this woman because I think it's the only correct and civilized response to this situation. The fact that she wore this costume and tweeted it to her friends may have been silly on her part. However, it was wrong of her to lose her job over it. She has freedom of expression in her private sphere. Also the place she worked for didn't seem to have an issue with it at the time. Finally, the people who caught wind of this picture and got all hot and bothered over it waged a massive cyber bullying campaign against her. She got punished by lynch mob rule.
To put it into perspective, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any member on this forum who hasn't posted something stupid or offensive at one time or another. How would you feel is someone took an "offensive" post you made in P&N and used it to wage a campaign to take away your job? Probably pretty bad, victimized even?
At some point, we decided as a society that mob rule it the correct rule. Which history has shown is rarely the case. Just proves you just need a couple hundred people to be sufficiently "outraged" to take away someone's living and destroy their lives. Each one of these people who attacked this woman should be charged with stalking.

I don't mind seeing her fired. It serves as an example to kids that there are consequences to being an idiot.
No need to add nude to her name now, first result of Google are her 23 pictures, mostly of her boobs.Just enter her name + nude or such on google and you will be rewarded.
I'm going to defend this woman because she has giant natural tits, and I'm a guy.
Michigan is an at will State. They can fire her without giving her a reason.
it's a PR nightmare...the backlash against the employer would have been monumental if they didn't terminate her.
If her employer didn't think her attire was appropriate, that's their decision to make.
But if they made that decision because of the reactions of people who aren't content to voice their displeasure APPROPRIATELY and then get on with their own lives, that's not right.
This scorched-earth policy against people we disagree with is completely unfair.
Business decisions are often not right but they are made because it makes business sense. Management has to operate with revenues and bottom lines in mind, not what's fair and whose feelings are getting hurt.

Then it's up to INDIVIDUALS to react carefully and reasonably, and not involve businesses in this kind of nonsense.
Hence my post... smart management lets her know how fucking stupid the costume is, the repercussions of wearing it, and send her ass home to change, hopefully before she posts anything.

Management does not give a shit until it goes viral. It was probably a non-issue before that. It probably when like this:
Secretary: Mr. Boss, soandso came in with a custom of a bostom bombing vicitm.
Boss: that was in pour taste.
3 hours later:
Secretary: Mr. Boss, look at what they are twitting about soandso.
Boss: release the hounds.
I said smart management.
