It’s like she either never showed up or showed up just to annoy everyone for a brief period of time and then leave.
She was just a menace to society for a solid 3 years

And what about her meltdown at the Wham concert in Los Angeles in late summer 1985. That was right before she took off with Bob and Tom for Australia. And before that she joined Heart on tour in Arizona bringing the Wilson sisters to her home. Nancy said they partied hard back then but no one could keep up with Stevie. All of this while she was supposed to be finishing her album and practicing tour rehearsals. She just wanted to party period. She had no interest in making good music. She even was a no show during her Talk To Me video shoot which is why it debuted so late. When the video was released, the song was already in the top 20. If you ever watch E True Hollywood Story of Nell Carter and Gimmie A Break, it will remind you of Stevie and how bad her cocaine addiction was.
However the craziest story I ever heard from this era was from Joe Walsh himself. In 1990 Joe Walsh was on Rockline. Someone called in and asked him to tell the Stevie Nicks Kentucky Fried Chicken incident. Joe said that they were all at a party for a world premiere of a Prince video. Joe was with Stevie in the living room and while they were waiting for the video to come on TV, a Kentucky Friend Chicken commercial came on tv. Joe was specific that it was the one where the cub scouts come marching into the restaurant demanding chicken done right. Stevie thought his commercial was the Prince video. When she was told it was a commercial everyone including Stevie could not stop laughing. I wish this Rockline would be uploaded to Youtube. If anyone has access it was broadcast July 1990. It always made me think, how disconnected from reality could you be to think a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial was a Prince video. I can only imagine what Wham's security had to deal with

Edit: If anyone has the power or resources to obtain this interview from Rockline the date is: 7/9/1990 joe walsh / mick taylor rockline
