It all depends on her contract but I suggest that the general charge of "Bringing the employer into disrepute" would apply here.
We'd be well and truly down the rabbit hole if that happened.
Happens regularly in the "real" world.
Employees who post anything on social media that might be deemed as inappropriate are liable for sanction.
In this case I will use the analogy I used previously - if your company lost out on a big contract to a rival and you were photographed celebrating with the CEO of that company your employer would probably want a chat.
I know that analogy isn't precisely what has happened here but the employment relationship is based upon trust and if the employer loses trust with the employee then there is only one outcome.
