I agree with everyone that it's all about money. No big surprise there.
Chris's comments, and frankly even Stevie's, are all about these two people attacking EACH OTHER. They use language like "Stevie and Lindsey battering each other" "Fighting like cat and dog" "If you two are going to kill each other"
It is presented like the aggressions are mutual.
The only circumstance they bring up that is clearly him attacking first is the onstage guitar throwing bit.
Yet we have this persistent narrative that it was all one-side LB against SN.
And yes, the John thing is an interesting comparative point. He was clearly physically aggressive to Chris. Perhaps the fact that John has always done a mea culpa about his drinking and owning up to being an a--hole (in the past he's often said things like "bless her heart she had enough and left"). Neither Stevie nor Lindsey has ever come clean about each of their contributions to their disastrous relationship. Stevie in fact has chosen to paint this rosy picture-- wasn't it in the early 2000s she was banging on about how they'd had all these deep talks and had come to understand each other's pain and etc better and now they got along so fabulously, wasn't it SHE who persisted in crafting this whole hand-holding, fall in love all over again sh&t onstage and in interviews for years and years??
Did anyone else who watched it pick up on Stevie's comments-- she was doing that whole thing about how early on she sat down with Chris and said they had to be formidable and never be treated as less-than by men in the business etc. I'll have to go back and watch again but she added on a sentence at the end pretty close to if these men "put us down
or cross us, watch. out. "
And she says it totally stone faced. Message to LB??
