I can't stand Stevie but that sounds like a bit of a stretch. I think she ousted him because she hates him and knew she had the power to make it happen - his contributions to the band's sound, her own songs, and his influence on the direction of her career be damned.
I think Stevie's more recent solo recordings are downright terrible, honestly, but I can't deny that her earlier work is pretty damn solid so I wouldn't object to her being inducted as a solo artist.
