During the SYW promotion she did say a couple of things. They weren't shots exactly, but it made me think there was a little feeling of rejection surrounding Christine.

She said that during The Dance even Christine could see that Stevie and Lindsey just wanted to sing alone. That made it sound like the two of them together again made Christine feel like an outsider.

Then, in another interviewer Stevie said Christine didn't want to be in the band 'and if that's what Christine wants, then that's what Christine gets.'

Just a transitory comment that suggested more to me than Stevie actually said. I sensed a little upset. I don't think Stevie meant it in any kind of longlasting way at all, but I do remember a couple of instances where I felt she was feeling a little "so there" towards Christine. But bottom line is I believe, with the exception of Mick, they all were a little hurt by Christine leaving. Like a lover saying, "it's not you it's me." It might be the truth, but it smarts. They know Christine did it for her own needs and reasons and it wasn't because she hated their guts and Lindsey even said as much: that he empathized with her decision. He said he knew how Christine felt having left himself, but I think they still felt a little rejected. Stevie, John and Lindsey.
