I think the more important question should be "why are the top leaves so green and the bottoms ones are dying and yellowing"?. This is most likely due to a nutrient lockout, caused by incorrect ph levels or excess in one nute, in particular nitrogen in your case.
Yeah get rid of them pal she should replace them in a week or so they are already being consumed by the plant so she wont miss them lol aslong as shes not an auto flower then yeah id clip them off :) Though its upto you its your plant :)
