sie

Non-PRO German to English Art/Literary Journalism
Außerdem habe das Model ihrem Freund auch schon den Schlüssel zu ihrer Londoner Luxuswohnung im Stadtteil St. Johns anvertraut. "Es mag unverständlich sein, aber Kate hat tiefe Gefühle für Pete und sie wird sie nicht einfach wegwerfen", schreibt "News of the World". Pete sei wie ein liebestrunkener Teenage

Why is there two sie's in "sie wird sie nicht einfach wegwerfen"? Is it typo?

TIA!!!
