Agreed, and she really didn't have to explain herself. She just did come back after 15 years and that WAR between the two ego maniacs was not really her deal.

And we don't know what her checking looks like. She may have had funds tied up in escrow, etc. It's none of anyone's business. I'm glad she did reach out to him. Those two had chemistry in humor, music, and friendship. LB seemed to understand that she shouldn't have to give up millions of dollars and her career in an effort to constantly intervene between those two imbeciles.

But she could have stopped it. She went along with Mick and Stevie and then justified her "inaction" by saying she just bought a house? She made probably at least 7 million from the OWTS tour (after taxes). She probably made over 10 million on her profit of the sale of her estate. She was always making Rumours royalties and was always good with her money. She did not need to say "sweet little lies" claiming she had no money and needed to go along with the sinister plan to fire Lindsey. That along with keeping Bob out of the RRHOF are her low points. But they have one thing in common....backing Mick.
When she said that, I first interpreted it to mean she just bought a house and was too busy to partake in the discussions. But that is not what she meant. She had to have been briefed and agreed to go along or not protest Stevie's wishes. I bet she would back Mick over any money amount she would have made on that 2018 tour. Chris was one of the wealthiest rockers who retired with the good life. If anyone believes that Christine F***ing McVie needed money in 2018, I want to sell you one of Stevie's platinum Street Angel records.

Amen! Those two make their own beds. When I think of how often Christine accommodated the band members musically and emotionally, I am not at all sad she did what she did. Did that tour make sense without Lindsey? No. But she saw her chance to make $ and leave a large pile to her family.

Exactly, it was a mgmt decision backed by "you know who", and she was new man on the totem pole AND "pickle in the middle".

Also, I have no idea what's in her checking account, people often assume you have no bills. Especially, when you're not working for 15 years, AND, you live in a very high taxed country.
Thank God she came back and did all that she did. I'm still amazed we got her in 2018. It would have been atrocious if FM would have gone on without her. Especially, after we had just had her come back. Again, wasn't her WAR.
