    after the Hollywood Bowl, was it really a reprieve for Flo or just needing to fulfill contractual obligations for performances? if flo had returned with the "mary mindset," would they have kept her in the group once Cindy was relieved for her contract with the Bluebelles?

    Also here is what people seem to forget: the Supremes became world famous only a couple of years after high school. Diana and Mary were child prodigies and Flo barely an adult, been together since 15-16 years old.

    They put all their hopes on Berry Gordy to make them stars. Gordy used and manipulated at least two of them while the other had her skepticism about him. Florence was only 24 when she was fired.

    Honestly none of us can be a fly on the wall to what was going on but show business is a cutthroat world and if you show any vulnerability, they take advantage of that. Florence went through so much after being raped, her drive for stardom almost overwhelmed her especially after the group stopped being so close.

    Mary and her cousin concluded that Flo didn't do the right thing either. It would've helped if Gordy and Diana weren't so success driven but no one knew how to deal with Florence's problems.

    Ahh they could have been nicer. They acted like a bunch of assholes towards that woman. Calling her fat, drunk, lazy and not really being sick when she was sick, not letting her sing any leads,threatening to expose the fact that she had not graduated from high school to the public and on and on, etc.

    Yeah I dont think Flo wanted to be in the group. I feel at some point she was hoping maybe things would work out but by '67, she seemed to just be going through the motions.

    Shelley Berger has said that after the New Orleans fiasco, he saw Diana reading a note from Flo saying she didn't want to be in the group anymore. I don't think Flo wanted to quit out of loyalty, almost like how Diana didn't want to go solo too soon.

    Brian Jones has nothing to do with Berry Gordy. I am talking about Gordy's known negative attitude where his female artists were concerned. He clearly had a different way of dealing with the males vs the females. The Stones were not on Motown and thus irrelevant to this conversation.

    Good thing you don't have a heaven or hell to put her in, right? We all have to reap what we sow. That's a fact. Why is Diana's reaping and sewing more important to you than your own reaping and sewing? I'm genuinely interested in the answer to this. Love me some Diana Ross, but I am waaaaaayyyyyyy more concerned with my own life than I am hers. That's also a fact. What say you?

    Let's not act like the Supremes and Motown are the only act where childish antics happened now... they just happened to be the most famous act where this occurred. I'm not making excuses for them, they WERE rude and mean, but this wasn't that unique. I've read biographies of other groups who treated their mates ten times worse and yet they still reunite every now and then!

    I think that the reprieve ultimately was because Motown needed time to deal with Cindy's contract to the Bluebelles and Atlantic Records. I believe that had Flo come back with a better attitude and willingness to go along to get along, Cindy would've never been a Supreme. For all of Gordy's nastiness, his dream wasn't that Florence is fired. He was smart enough- I think- to recognize her contributions to the group and thus would not want to lose that if he could avoid it. So Flo in a better mood would've been good business for the Supremes. Gordy would be happy with that. Cindy would've either ended up a replacement Vandella or Marvelette, or she would've been a casualty in the Motown machine's Supreme focus, because Patti and the girls definitely weren't letting Cindy come back.

    But Gordy had a pretty good read on people and I think he recognized that at some point Flo would slip up, especially if he decided to target her hot button issues. So Cindy was brought on board as a stand in, to be called upon shortly.

    Right? Anyone want to talk about how despicable Martha treated "her" Vandellas? She's lucky she got her sister in there to back her butt up.

    On this we agree. Some of what has been described is absolutely crazy, and she's supposed to ignore that? I get that there was a better way to handle things, but I really think people are missing what Florence was really dealing with. The least of her Motown problems was not singing a lead. What was going on between her and Gordy was deeper than that.

    Betty Kelly in particular. This is why I can't take people seriously when they act like the Supremes were the only ones who had to deal with nastiness in their own ranks. Far from it!

    No! This thread is about Florence Ballard's last day in the Supremes. Thank you

    Speaking of Cindy, the Bluebelles [[Patti, Nona and Sarah) were PISSED with a capital P when Cindy called them later about going to the Supremes. I can imagine they each called Cindy everything but a child of God [[NONA in particular). Berry's decision led to a double whammy of two top girl groups whose early friendships broke apart because of a cruel world called show business.

    For all of the talk about what Mary "should have done", she DID try to help Florence to get her to fight for her place to stay in the group but I guess Florence's demons got the best of her. Every time I see their Unsung and it gets to the part of the breakup, I always go "get strong, Flo! Prove Berry wrong!"

    It was done intentionally! The issue was NOT about handling things differently. That was the bullshit line they put out there starting in the late 70s in regards to the Florence Ballard story. Into the 80s, they tried to put the brunt of the blame of Florence because of how she had "handled" things. The truth is they slowly tortured that girl. Even tried to make her think she was losing her mind or that she had gotten as big as a house. I dare anyone to show me a picture of Florence Ballard fat as one of the Supremes!

    You see it right here with some of these guys trying to change the subject to the Vandellas or couldn't Mary Wilson have done something to make Florence's situation with Berry and Diane better, etc,etc, utter bullshit to ad nauseum!

    Well obviously Florence Glenda Ballard Chapman was never fat [[though Benjaminson claimed she died mildly obese; think it was said she weighed 190 lbs at the time of her death but she was like 5'7, I think? I need to re-read the book on Archive), but this was the '60s, if someone in the industry weighed over 120 lbs, you were considered fat. They said this to Judy Garland decades before Flo and to Karen Carpenter [[well they called her chubby but still) a decade after her. The industry is hard on women in general. What men can get away with, women can't. So telling a curvaceous woman she was fat will definitely sting especially if you're as headstrong as Florence.

    This was how Florence looked in late 1975, just a few months before her death and probably right after she left rehab at Henry Ford Hospital. Not fat at all but in her era, she would've been seen as such, which is pretty f*cked up.

    Marv you turned the thread into another Diana-bash fest, nothing to do with Florence's last day as a Supreme. Practice what you preach my man.

    Why is telling the truth about a situation viewed as bashing? Why do you all always excuse her bad behavior towards others. That has been her problem, no one puts her in check.

    If Flo was taking anti depressants that might explain some weight gain depending on the drug she was prescribed.

    The way Flo was treated has everything to do with her demise in the group. Behavior from others negatively affected her well-being.

    I don’t think she was fat but she definitely gained weight from going from a size 8 in 1965 to a size 12 in 1967. It was said before that Cindy could wear Flo’s dresses the question is could Flo wear her dresses. It’s been said that they couldn’t wear certain gowns because Flo’s couldn’t get into hers also when Flo put on Cindy’s tuxedo, it was too small for her.

    If you've ever worked at a job that was excessively stressful and you knew most of the stress was being made up by those that wanted you gone, you will have some understanding of what Florence Ballard went through. When she was finally out, it felt like a relief to her. That is how she described it. She didn't even want to have anything to do with Motown or the people there after she was fired.

    Then later on, it looked to me that Cindy was just as curvy and voluptuous as Flo. She did not look skinny or malnourished like the lead singer.

    From all the conclusions you draw, it seems that Mary Wilson has no personality, no existence of her own, like your friend Luke.
    If Flo was being harassed by Berry and Diana, it's still surprising that Mary didn't intervene. If the original team meant that much, she could have said, "If Flo goes away, I don't go on stage".
    But she didn't say that, she preferred to see the band survive with another Supreme than to see it sink into chaos. She preferred to remain a Supreme, with the benefits, protected by Diana Ross leading force, and probably praying that it would last as long as possible.

    And if you think Flo was harassed, what about Diana? in this book you read as the Bible, Berry is tougher to Diana than any other Supremes or artist.
    B. Gordy : "She is going to be a star, and a star should endure this kind of pressure"

    I don't think Cindy was announced when she did fill in/join the group during their July run. Berry took a big gamble on losing Flo because he wasn't sure how the public would accept it. The fire must have been pretty hot for him to say okay that's it. However, if Cindy was rejected I think he would have either found a way to get her back or have Diana go solo.

    Ross has been put in check many times. Leaving Motown and watching her career decline. Her husband leaving her for a younger woman.

    She put YOU in check by throwing you out of her concert because you snapped photos when an announcement had been made not to do so while she was performing.

    Diana Ross has never had me thrown out of anything or anywhere. Thinking about it, I wished she could. I'd have a good chunk of whatever money she has left.......

    It happened in Denver. That was the night you became a Mary Wilson fan. That was in a post you sent me on AOL in November 1999, that I eventually sent to Mary's rep. I think I still have it on a flash. I'll look and post it.

    Wow thats real smart of you and your right. Not only did Luke and Marv joined on the same month and year but on the exact same day. Yep. Many of us here have thought they are the same person and you just proved it Albator.

    If you google Diana Ross sociopath, you'll find a discussion on a forum a long time ago, where he pursue her and label her "A c"" of epic proportion and sociopath" .

    He is one in two, or two in one

    As Luke, he loves Marv2 very much

    This dude is crazy. Diana never threw me out of anywhere in Denver. He knows I went to school in Denver from when he use to pretend to just be a Motown fan way back in the AOL days. I have always loved Mary Wilson since I first heard of the Supremes. If he continues with his lies, I will blow him out of the waters with his own truths! Final warning! I am not playing.

    Its kinda silly and real disrespectful to be passing around blame over Flo Ballards exit from the Supremes 52 years ago when NONE of US was there in ANY of the dressing rooms or meetings or phone calls. Let the lady RIP and celebrate her legacy on this day which is her earthly birthday.

    And yet you and others engage him knowing full well what he will say instead of ignoring him. And yet I find it interesting that you don’t have a problem calling out Marv but becoming quiet when Mary gets disrespected.

    I dont disrespect Mary Wilson but things he says about Diana Ross are just real disgusting and sexist and I actually have defended Mary Wilson on this here forum.
