I think she was over-thinging things.

It's never been about the band not wanting her, it's just that they weren't looking for her! They found a guitar player they wanted and needed, and Stevie just came with the package. She was an unexpected surprise, but when they heard the vocal harmonies the three voices could create, it was easy to accept Stevie.

Christine said she liked that she wasn't the only girl in the band anymore, and it sort of balanced the equation of guys and the girls. Stevie also brought a sexual appeal, and Christine was happy about it, since it deflected the media focus off her in that manner. Christine never sought or wanted that kind of attention. The infamous reply Christine gave when a reporter asked her what it was like to be a sex symbol in the rock world, she said "I don't know, ask Stevie."
