She just sent me a message telling me to move my shit and leave or she would move it for me. Do I have to pay my half of the rent even though she kicked me out? I was just going to send the landlord my half when I moved out after the semester so I didn't get into trouble legally.
The landlord told me I was still liable to pay my half even though she kicked me out. Is that true?

Tell your ex chick that she needs to give you a release in writing for your half of the lease. If she is unwilling to do that tell her that she has to allow you to stay until she negotiates a new lease with the landlord.
If you are not worried about a bad credit rating just tell her (the landlord) to collect from the person living in the house.
OTOH, you are screwed.
