It really is profoundly sad. She had some major problems resulting from being raped as a teenager and they were evidently never addressed. She was treated abysmally by Berry Gordy and Motown after she was let go from the group. To the extent that she was not allowed to even mention that she had been a Supreme when promoting herself as a solo act.
