Lindsey may be difficult to work with, but I don't think Stevie's a peach to work with either. Her diva tendencies have been getting progressively worse over the years, and she seems to be close to full-on Norma Desmond territory.
We're allowed to critique the band for their decision. The band was broken up, apparently because Lindsey and Stevie basically can't get along. But Lindsey didn't issue an ultimatum, Stevie did, and that's where she did something wrong. There's plenty of things on Stevie's side of the column to justify her firing, so how does she have the chutzpah to basically demand Lindsey's firing? And to not have the decency to tell him herself?
Apparently, the other 4 got along just fine without her, and I think BuckVie is a large part of what precipitated this. I initially took her comments to the press at face value, but I think now it's pretty clear that project rankled her.

From memory, Stevie's comments about Buckingham McVie immediately prior to its release were (not a direct quote): I'm sure it will be great, cos Christine's super inspired.
No remarks about Lindsey. Just, Christine is feeling inspired. No comment as to why she wasn't involved, except for an offhand remark that she is really busy with her solo tour.
Rankled? That's an understatement.
