Back in the 90s, the Detroit Free Press wrote a few articles about her....regarding her stiffing the florists that would deliver a dozen roses to her daily, how she badly treated staff, limo drivers, those who had to deal with her at her dressing room before/after concerts, the lawsuits from failing to pay off debts.
Totally respected her talent (no pun intended), her breaking ground, her lofty and legendary status....but she was not the nicest of individuals.
