They've been on trial for over 6 months now. The jury has a good handle on what's going on. What, 63-7 now. That's pretty indicative on the sentiments of where the fans' hearts lie.

To be clear, they didn't perjure themselves... they weren't under oath when they were interviewed. There's a world of difference. They also made it very clear they weren't going to badmouth Lindsey and were deliberately vague about specific details during their interviews. They could have mentioned the so-called smirking during the interview and then shown it, but they didn't. With this lawsuit, of course the band will unearth anything to make Lindsey look bad, but then again, Lindsey will do the same thing to make FM look bad.

Wasn't there an odd picture from the MusiCares red carpet where Lindsey posed like Jesus on the cross? That picture seemed very unlike Lindsey, very crass and melodramatic and outrageous, and certainly made me think something major had happened that night between Lindsey and the band. Something more than a smirk set the band off that night, including Lindsey.

NO!!! Is that what perjury means? Thanks for clearing that up for me. I know, it's hyperbole on my part. Just like calling this poll a vote by jury. I thought you had a better sense of humor than that!

However, I do believe this interview is admissible in court. Stevie said Lindsey wanted them to wait an exaggerated longer period of time to tour. According to his complaint, that's not true.

There's a whole set of provocative photos of him from that event.

They did? Fleetwood Mac has testified under oath and they lied? Just wishing it so doesn't make it true you know.

You really should read the whole thread before posting your usual 20 individual replies. I've already explained that.

After reading the documents, watching the Music Cares speech and the Rolling Stone interview, I gotta be fair. Lindsey is right. I hope he wins. I'm sad Stevie is behind this.

I just watched the speech. Christine started it by looking at her watch as a joke, then Lindsey very mildly joined in. That was my impression anyway.

What was the issue with the intro music that upset Lindsey? I don't understand the issue there. Does anyone have a link to that, and can anyone explain?

Thanks.

for awhile and did not know anything about a lawsuit until I saw about it on NBC this morning...Interesting.

As much as the extreme Stevie hate on here strikes me as hysterical, it’s obvious that FM (and Stevie in particular) look like the assholes here. So I hope LB wins.

That said, LB & SN have had a fraught and dysfunctional relationship for decades and it sounds like it’s best that they’re not in a band together. LB has been quite an asshole himself over the years and I totally believe that he smirked at Stevie’s speech (or whatever she says he did) and it set her off. That’s totally in character for him. But the way they all handled this was the definition of chickensh&t.

You do know that what Christine and Mick did was WAY worse right? They openly mocked her and danced behind her.

The point is... she doesn't despise Mick or Chris.
It's not rational behaviour, but she hates him so much she has blinkered vision.

I don't think she "hates" Lindsey or despises him. She's always wanted recognition from Lindsey, and I'd say she wanted that more from him than from anyone else in the band. When he acts disrespectful to her, it bothers her more. It bothers her A LOT! MusiCares is where it all came to a head, from a long history of her trying to get that respect. The instance of him not ever listening to Bella Donna would be an example. I also believe that Lindsey's involvement with Chris on the BuckVie record and tour irked her too. This fallout has been brewing for awhile, to say the least. I don't think it was any one thing or things that Lindsey did at MusiCares that was so horrible. It was just the trigger that made all these feelings surface in her. In someone who is in an unstable emotional mindset, still dealing with Tom's death.

I think it’s beyond that. The boys walked on eggshells around Stevie when Christine was gone. Lindsey played along with the faux drama every step of the way. He brought in Mitchell Froom to get her to record with the band, even came up with music for Stevie, but she only agreed to do an EP.

Then Christine came back, and everything changed. Lindsey had an eager and willing partner, quit walking on eggshells, quit playing the game, and forgot why he played the game in the first place. The rest of the band made an album without her, it became awkward in the press, Lindsey made the unfortunate comment about doing a Fleetwood Mac show for the money for Azoff’s festivals, and had minimal interaction with Stevie during the shows. Then he smirked. They all did, but Mick and Christine have been supportive and have said nothing but glowing things about her in recent history, and when hasn’t John smirked?

Ironically, her desire to be a Heartbreaker may prove to be the thing that moves the band forward.

91-9 in Lindsey's favor!

Not good for FM, if this even remotely reflects the opinion of the general public.
