Flo didn't want to only be paid, she wanted to sing. And Ross wasn't Florence's problem, Gordy was. So unless Gordy handed Motown over to someone else and then took Ross somewhere else, there was no way Florence was coming back to anything Motown/Supremes.

In many ways Flo was her own worst enemy, which is true in just about everyone's case. That's just how life works out. But the blame for what happened to the incredible original trio of Supremes begins and ends with Berry Gordy. Diana, Flo and Mary only followed his lead.
