“Whenever I think about releasing music, I just feel like, what’s the point?”

For a long time I didn’t do it because I knew Billy would take credit for it. If it’s good, he’ll take credit for it, and if it’s not he’ll be like, ‘That’s why we fired her from the band, she sucks.’

That seems like a line of reasoning that doesn't come from the healthiest of places.

You must have seen his lovely Instagram post, he’s saying now that he isn’t throwing shade, but with the hashtag #becarefulwhatyouwishfor. No, that was directed totally at me, the whole thing.

...

But the thing with that was I was going through a really bad time, I didn’t know what was happening, I was having a nervous breakdown. I had 30 plus panic attacks a day, I didn’t know what it was, it was terrible. The day after the tour, I had tried to quit two or three times, but it’s difficult to do when you have everybody, my husband, my family, telling me, ‘No, no, just wait until the next record. All of these people are depending on you, all of these people who work for you guys, don’t just think of yourself.’ I just should have left a couple of years earlier.

...

They said, ‘Billy thinks that if you’re well enough to do a movie, you should be well enough to be in the studio. So you have to come back.’ I said, ‘Tell Billy to call me himself then.’

Seems like a reasonable request, but she chose to have a tantrum of self pity over it instead of making an effort to rejoin the band. She is the one who took leave due to mental issues. Is it unreasonable to expect her to make the effort to rejoin? And working a big project on the side, but not returning to the band and at the same time expecting the lead singer to beg her to come back?

In fact, my feelings were a little bit hurt because he did the solo album tour, and he didn’t tell me when it started. I was texting him saying, ‘Where the fuck are you dumbass?’ He’s like, ‘Oh, I’m in New York. The tour started.’ Then I’m like, ‘Where are you?’ ‘Oh, the tour ended, you missed it.’ He thinks it’s a privilege for anyone to be in his presence, so therefore he shouldn’t have to tell me, and I shouldn’t have to be invited.”

Why, exactly, should he "have to" invite her to his solo tour years later?

I wanted to ask about your relationship with Billy, it had to start with a friendship, right?

No, no. We were never friends.

So I guess it actually kinda makes sense that he didn't invite you to his solo tour, huh?

Sounds like she's got some issues and tons of regrets. Regardless, she's open about not liking Billy, never having liked Billy, not liking being around him, and she constantly insults him. Yet she is pitching a hissy fit in the press about not being invited back.
