Even if the band presented the firing to her as a "done deal" (which seems implausible), Christine could have responded as follows: "Whether this decision is reversible or not, just know I will not remain in the band unless it includes both Stevie and Lindsey. It changes nothing if the person quits, is fired, gets sick, or dies. I won't call this thing Fleetwood Mac without them both."
Saying as much would have preserved the band's good name, or at least absolved Christine of being a part of tarnishing it. It may well also have kept the band in tact.
Perhaps Stevie approached Christine ahead of time to get her assurance that she would not take such a position. If so, Christine shouldn't have given it.
