She was suspended by the newspaper on Sunday after controversial tweet

Sonmez was roasted for a post hours after Kobe Bryant died in helicopter crash

She tweeted link to a 2016 story about the 2003 rape allegations against Bryant

Twitter users blasted Sonmez for the timing of the post, which she then deleted
