No, she demanded that the publisher follow the contract they'd both signed.

Well she can certainly ask for something like that, but the publisher has the right to refuse her terms.

They accepted her terms; she and publisher had reached an agreement about who would control her book for how long with what monetary split. She gave up a certain amount of long-term control in exchange for a lump sum up front.

So what is her complaint?

She had a contract with them for one book. She published another book, of entirely different content, and they insisted she was working with "the enemy," and demanded she unpublish the other book. She refused, and it sounds like they broke the contract--insisting she pay them back and potentially refusing to release her book as scheduled.
