Kal, that's a bit strong. He's been a bit silly but from what I hear the event happened on a turnaround a little while ago when he was dating said girl. Current girlfriend found the photo's on his computer, took photo's of the computer screen with her phone and sent them to a bunch of people.
If you take a good look at the photo's then you can see that they're obviously of a computer screen and not the actual photo's as taken.
I think firing them was a bit too much, the company had plenty of other punishment's available.
