At least she could have handled this situation in a better way.

Taking it even a step further, Kristen and Lynn Fleetwood are “friends”. At least I’ve notice Lynn commenting on Kristen’s IG Page....well not anymore. I guess she needs to make sure those alimony checks keep rolling in


Sad sad sad all around

Every OTHER way possible would have been better no doubt

Well if it is true that he didn't want to the delay the tour at the time of firing, then the only issue was the solo shows at the same time as the FM shows. I can still see him being furious at not being allowed to do this, and this causing fireworks.

if it's true?

see the problem is that gold dust peeps on here are making up all these excuses, while out of hand dismissing all the evidence to the contrary.

it gets tiresome for people to explain the same thing over and over again - we have been for more than a month now! - just so yet another gold dust covered person can come here and start the whole discussion all over from the scratch - and then usually escalate it to some extremely unreasonable and nasty assertion while at the same time demanding a proof beyond the reasonable doubt that assertion is wrong.

if people are happy with this situation, why not enjoy it instead of coming on here and sh**ing on people who are sad about what happened?

the thing is, like i quoted in that Stevie's checkmate thread, in the closed Stevie groups gold dust covered peeps are gloating and going "finally, she got him!" but then they come on here and act all oblivious.

so tired of all the bs.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Lynn used to comment on every KB’s pic: horses, her kids, anything. Now they’re still following each other but given the current situation the comments have stopped.
Or maybe she doesn’t want to get bashed by LB’s fans.

I don’t know how many times I had explained the same situation. But everything is “speculation” or “allegedly” or “we don’t know that”. Half of the people close to Lindsey have more or less explained what we have explained, but they need proofs. Not even Lindsey will convinced them.

Some are even gloating here.... when you catch them off guard

I think SN supporters perhaps may be surprised or shocked that deep down she was capable of instigating his firing after all their history and success together. I mean if you look at it objectively, it's a very spiteful, selfish and hurtful thing to do to someone. I guess people also want the details of what was exactly said when they fought and the ultimatum was given as well as how the dialogue went when LB was told. Unfortunately we will probably, quite rightly, not ever know that, as if LB speaks it may not necessarily be the exact truth and will be told from his point of view. But in saying that we do know the exact details of his firing from multiple sources and that is basically fact now not gossip......

those Stevie supporters are mostly now ex-supporters, though. and more sad about this whole situation than LB fans or general FM fans. here and there some are just out of the loop, or cannot believe it.

her continuing and strongest supporters? like i said - they are jumping up and down and gloating in SN groups. then they come to FM groups or on here or even to LB groups and act all shocked.

because what do you know, we should somehow be gullible enough to believe that people who have never written anything positive about LB and always dump on him love LB oh so much.

exactly!

Wait... what??? She's dating his niece?? She always said she liked men too much. Or was that another lie?? It gets more & more confusing by the minute....

Yes, yes, "majority rules" and all that. But it would have been decent of them to at least ask her what she thought before making the decision, give her a chance to make her voice heard. Who knows, maybe she would have been OK with it. It shows such a lack of respect that they didn't even consult her.

As for the whole "keeping her out of the decision to spare her awkwardness" argument... I would rather be given a voice than have someone else take my voice away from me in the name of "sparing me" anything. It's called having agency. They must think Christine is a very weak woman if they believe she can't handle the consequences of her own decisions, and they would be incredibly presumptuous to make that kind of call "on her behalf" in any case.

Alternatively, she was on board with it, but was not gung-ho about it, and thus has asked to be characterized as someone who was not a part of the decision-making process at all. With all the lies going around, this is not outside the realm of possibility.

Having met Christine numerous times, she's anything but weak. Back in the 80's she had an aura about her that said:"Do NOT mess with me". You just couldn't do anything other than respect her. She was a strong willed woman. Which is why I'm so surprised about her reaction to Lindsey's firing although I have to say she didn't look quite happy in the CBS interview. Knowing what I know about her is that she raised hell about it but went along with it in the end and that doesn't sit right with me. She had nothing but praise for him...

In some interview, I don't remember which one, I read that Mick & Stevie had to talk John into it. I'm surprised he didn't call her and told her about it. It sounds like she was made aware of Lindsey's firing after the fact. Like someone said, her vote was irrelevant. And maybe -but this is pure speculation on my part - they told her:"If you don't like it, you can go as well". Who knows??

And it gets tiresome reading pages and pages of hate filled rubbish. Is it any wonder some of us aren't reading most of what is in this forum at the moment? Yes there is clearly some credible information in here, buried within the trash, but trying to find and make sense of what is being posted is becoming quite a challenge

I'm really not going to get caught up in "my sources said this and that" this person on fb/SN group posted this... I really do have better things to do, so please excuse me if I'm not quite following the Lindsey superfan, he only f*arts rainbows, narrative on here

As you said in another thread, relax my friend

What you describe goes both ways, I think you would agree. I remember a comment someone made about Stevie having to make 24 Karat Gold to fulfill a contract, and you said something along the lines of "prove it." Believe me, I'm not trying to start a war or anything with you. I understand you're angry about this, and rightfully so. I'm not trying to get you to change your mind or anything like that, I just want you to know sometimes it seems like you're doing the same thing you say others are doing.

As far as Stevie superfans gloating about Lindsey no longer being in FM, that's just gross. Why anyone would be happy he's gone is beyond me. He is part of why people love FM, and by extension, the individual band members. All 5 of them, together, created something magical that was beyond their ability individually. That's not to say they're not capable of making incredible music on their own- Lindsey, Stevie, and Christine all have great songs on their solo albums, to say the least. And I enjoyed BTM and SYW, but the Rumours 5 are a winning combination. I'm glad that at least on the Ledge, I haven't seen any gloating that he's gone. It's one thing to accept there's a new lineup, or even be intrigued or excited about it, but it's another thing entirely to gloat about someone being fired.

Fantastic! Then if you truly have better things to do, don’t discredit people close to Lindsey that are validating what we say here, whether you like them or not.

So, who are these "people close to Lindsey"? And don't say his family, because sticking up for a family member no matter what is what families do. Who are these people who were in the room and heard everything that went down?
