There are legal-related concerns, but not precisely due-process ones. Monica goes into it more on her blog, particularly in the comments of this post [1] where she discusses the possibility of taking legal action against the company. She feels that StackExchange libelled her by making public accusations of specific & evidently inaccurate bad conduct to the press [2] while making themselves unavailable for any sort of communication and resolution.

As far as due process goes, there was an established process on the website for removing moderators, which StackExchange did not follow in her removal. Nothing legally questionable about it since they can run their site how they will, but certainly questionable enough to burn goodwill.
