Exactly Right-Kelly.
Why anyone would believe a spurned ex is beyond me; especially someone of such questionable moral character. As you have so astutely pointed out in your insightful posts, she is an opportunist; a spiteful one at that (I might add.) Otherwise, why else would she wait until after Lindsey settled down and became a loving family-man, that had matured enough to mend fences with the Mac/Stevie, and garner critical accolades as a visionary musician in his own right.
I don't think she remained silenced because the Mac-members got lawyered up. She remained silent (as opposed to silenced) because like any snake in the grass, she calculatingly waited for an opportune moment to strike and spew-forth her venom. What better time to "strike out" than after Lindsey has turned his life around and doing so well on their own.
