my diana comment wasn't meant to be literal. it was me parroting what the rabid anti-diana fans say about the situation.
in Dreamgirl Mary also mentioned that after the April 67 meeting at Berry's house where they decided Flo had to go, Flo ended up still working with the group. And Mary said it appeared flo was really just going through the motions. Although others have said that Flo was pretty glad to be given a second chance.
Also Flo's "job" was more than simply going onto stage. all of the pr, press interviews, photo shoots, rehearsals, preparing new music in the studio, etc was a massive part of it too. I don't have the specifics but again, mary and other books mentioned that Flo would often be missing and excused as having "the flu" or late or whatever. it's possible that she just skipped out or didn't bother. maybe that was because she was drunk, maybe not. maybe it was she was hung over. maybe she was just in a mood and couldn't deal with it. maybe she really was sick.
