I'd assume that Berry had little to no contact with her after she left Vegas. at that point their professional and personal relationships were destroyed. But after a while life just took it's course. Mary was crazy busy touring with DRATS and then The New Sups. Diana was completely wrapped up with her work too. and flo's mental state seriously declined by 69, 70.
Diana attempted to help out with the mortgage on Flo's house just before she lost it. but according to Randy, either Tommy or someone wouldn't allow her to simply make the check payable to the bank and Flo wouldn't return her calls. Whether it was paranoia or shame or whatever, who knows. Flo did have a phone call with Diana after seeing Mahogany. I'm not sure they'd had much
3. absolutely. It's all about money.
4. at this point Diana was shouldering really the entire burden of the group. she was singing all of the leads in the show plus LEADING the show with her energy and persona, constantly recording, interviews, appearances, travel, etc. The inter group dynamics were pretty much destroyed by this time. the tension between Flo and Diana was rapidly spiraling out of control. Berry was probably willing to do just about anything to makes things easier for her [[outsider of reducing the work). if having a private dressing room would reduce her stress and keep her on point, that would be an easy decision. she could sleep in there, rest up. Flo wouldn't be there to argue or fight.
