A Jordanian American author who lost her book deal after calling out a transit worker eating on a train is suing a book publisher for $13.4 million in damages, alleging the company “permanently ruined” her reputation and made her suicidal.

Natasha Tynes — an award-winning author who shut down her Twitter account and website in May after tweeting a photo of a black transit worker eating on a train in Washington, DC – sued Rare Bird Lit Inc. on Friday. The complaint lists causes including breach of contract, conspiracy to defame and infliction of distress after the book publisher said it was canceling her debut novel, “They Called Me Wyatt,” over the public shaming.

Tynes quickly apologized for the tweet calling out the uniformed Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority worker. But online retaliation was swift, including from imprint Rare Bird Books, which said in a scathing statement that Tynes’ tattletale approach was “truly horrible” and wholly undesirable.

That statement, according to Tynes’ 36-page lawsuit, led her to have a panic attack and suicidal thoughts as she was rushed to the hospital with chest pains after it was released. The ensuing uproar also “permanently ruined” Tynes’ reputation as a writer, led her to receive death threats and forced her to temporarily leave the country out of fears of retribution, the suit claims.

The statement also crippled the commercial viability of Tynes’ book, akin to a “modern day book burning by a publisher,” according to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Days later, Tynes, a social media strategist and communications officer for the World Bank Group in Washington, was placed on administrative leave from her job. She also started receiving death threats and was accused of being a supporter of President Trump, in addition to being called a “vile racist” and a bigot without morals on a website that reviews new books, the lawsuit claims.

“Subjecting an immigrant woman of color to this racial torment for their own personal profit is what [Rare Bird Lit Inc.], an all-white company, promoted while its imprint publicly lectured [Tynes] ‘that we have to be allies, no oppressors,’” the lawsuit states.

Concerned that her family might be targeted with violence, Tynes later returned to Jordan on May 21, a decision she was forced to make as a result of Rare Bird’s actions, her attorneys claim.

Tynes, who previously described herself as a “social media maven” on her LinkedIn profile, declined to comment when reached by The Post in May. One of her attorneys, William Moran, said she was unavailable Monday to elaborate.

“What she ultimately would go through at the hands of her publisher is frankly pretty shocking,” Moran wrote in an email.

But an attorney for Tynes’ former publisher said the author’s accusations were “baseless” and vowed to vigorously contest them. There were also less than 50 pre-orders of the book, contrary to a claim in Tynes’ lawsuit that interest in her book had skyrocketed prior to the controversy, attorney David Eisen said in a statement to USA Today.

“It is ironic that, having taken advantage of her First Amendment rights with an ill-advised tweet, Ms. Tynes now seeks to stifle and punish use of those very same rights of a respected book publisher who legitimately expressed its opinions of her conduct, rather than take responsibility for her own actions,” the statement reads. “Ms. Tynes would have been better served to have simply let this episode disappear into the annals of history.”
