In "Dreamgirl", Mary recalls a conversation between she and Berry, where he tells her [[paraphrasing), that she's "too available; you should be more like Diana, unreachable".
Whether or not that occured, of course, is up for debate. But supposing it did, in what context do you think it was meant? That she was too friendly with the fans? Or too loose with the gentlemen?
I always assumed it was in regards to the fans. There's stories of she, and Flo, meeting and greeting, while Diana would B line for the limo.
But I wonder if it was more towards her "antics" offstage? Of ALL people, Berry Gordy should talk. By this time, he was making the rounds with Diana himself; not sure what his definition of "unreachable" was. By that point, he'd also had SIX children, two with women outside of his marriages. So he was a FINE one to talk.
