Ms Lallie confronted the long-serving domestic worker about the text before telling her she wanted her gone. Fairfax report the High Commissioner then ordered her out of the official residence immediately, booking her a room at a hotel, handing her $50 and ordering a driver to take her away.
The domestic worker's contract included a clause that she not discuss any information about her employment or employer or events inside the official residence. A breach entitled the employer to end the contract with a day's notice.
Ms Komla told Fairfax she made a mistake but did not think she should have lost her job.
She was now staying in Dannevirke and was not sure about her future.
A spokeswoman at the High Commission told Fairfax Ms Komla's actions were regarded as a serious employment breach where trust and confidentiality were essential for all staff.
An Immigration NZ spokesman said Komla's work visa was no longer valid, but no action would be taken against her until her situation was fully assessed.
