Should Stevie actually come forward and make claims, then we have another matter on hand—and even then we would not take the claim lightly or casually. This doesn’t mean we would refuse to believe her but that the claim would need to be balanced with corroborating testimony, if available, and weighed against his comments, too. It’s called due process. So don’t try to put words in my mouth. |
I don't doubt that Lindsey has been an abusive asshole towards his former girlfriends. That did cost him, his image has been tarnished for decades.
But that has never kept Stevie, Mick, John or Christine from making music with him, cashing their checks and enjoy their stardom. That also did not keep Stevie from decades of slow dancing, stage romance and sad eyes interviews about how much she loved him. Also, where were the fans protesting him during concerts, who boycotted the band? I certainly did not, while I have my problems with his character, he has won me over again and again by being one hell of an musician, a great entertainer and a powerstation onstage. But now that the band is heaviliy criticized for firing him, this is suddenly a thing for the band and for the FM fans? GMAFB. It does also not mean that he has been unable to change, to become a better man, mellow out and be a good husband and father. |

Stevie does not have to state that she was abused, her song lyrics and behaviors do it.

I wouldn't doubt that Lindsey was abusive however I would need to hear it from Stevie or someone actually close to her before I believe it. This book just rehashes interviews that have been accessible in the public domain for years. I think it's well-documented that Lindsey could be condescending towards Stevie, and undoubtedly nasty at times, but that is hardly the salacious abusive relationship that this author is trying to promote. I'm annoyed that so many news outlets are rehashing the author's twisted conclusions as news.

Are we going to do this again? The 3 Stevie sycophants are going to drive this into the ground, kick it back out to Pluto, and then circle infinity and beyond to prove their point- Lindsey is fire breathing Satan himself and Stevie is a beautiful child of angelic divinity. All the while the 3 Lindseysciples will claim every negative word ever uttered is part of a secret plot to leave Lindsey as a lonely popper in a Bulgarian prison.
Fact - The abuse claims about Lindsey are from 35-40 plus years ago. He has clearly taken positive steps to create a life built on the foundation of love for and from his family. Fact - Stevie was a drug riddled addict 30 years ago and took the positive steps to recognize the damage her addiction did to those she loves and found a love for herself to rise above her years of addiction and now leads a productive, positive life based on her terms. Fact - Fleetwood Mac is a business and the majority of the stakeholders decided to change the direction of the business. I personally hate the new direction, but they had every right to do it. Ultimately, it will be judged by the quality of the product and its profitability. These personal attacks on each of them by people here who quite frankly know ZERO about what went down 3 months ago, let alone 30 years ago, are nothing more than the rantings of the mob who are amused by engaging in the use of poisonous words, without any real knowledge, to personally destruct those they believe harmed their icon. |
