There's always been this tension among them. Nicks wasn't the musician the rest were, so they would dismiss her; yet she was also very clearly the star, and I think that probably grated on them (particularly Buckingham).
But they've all said unkind things about each other. I read an interview once where Buckingham referred to Nicks AND McVie as "lounge acts" in their solo careers and saying he found it "sad". McVie said of Nicks's songs that "most of them are rubbish". It doesn't surprise me that the director of the "Hold Me" video said no one in the band was talking to anyone else - the fights seemed to fly in every direction.
They all have healthy egos. Buckingham knows he works studio magic, McVie is likely confident she writes the best songs, and Nicks knows her charisma makes her the star and brings in the crowds. Each of them has an understandable reason for thinking they're the key to Mac's success. It's not surprising they chafe at each other.
