Her taking a picture and posting it to Twitter (which is different from publishing) is not illegal. She didn't need a model release. The only time you need a model release is if you intend to sell the photograph of a person to be used for commercial purposes. You know, sell the picture to a company for the company to use it in an advertisement. At that time, a model release is required. No monetary gain was acquired in this situation, so why would a release be required?
Know Copyright and publishing laws when you comment... just sayin'

This is code for professional bullshitter. We (the real developers) don't need any "evangelizing." Our work speaks for itself.
FYI - she took your picture and published it, without a model release . . . technically, per the letter of the law - that is illegal . . . just sayin'
