During the original Broadway run of the play, Diana Ross made it VERY well known that she was not happy with the play and that it was about HER life and they had turned it into "ice cream". She used the F-word is continuing on to describe her life as not being a "F-ing story" LOL! I was in college. I would laugh my ass off back then even when she would try to make everything about her ,when it really was more about Florence and "Them". By the time of the movie I guess they felt they got away with only going so far with the play that they took the chance and went all the way with the movie LOL! The movie really was not the Supremes story if you noticed the personalities of the main characters. Like, who was Beyonce suppose to be? LOL!
