(Insert Long Sigh Here)

I am not pro or anti Beyonce but I need Farrah Franklin, the chick who spent five months in Destiny's Chilc before deciding it was not for her, to sit back and be quiet. I say this because she hasn't been in the group in ten years but now she's very vocal about her time in Destiny's Child. All I can offer is: Beyonce and her family are not concerned about you, Michelle, Kelly, they're barely concerned about Solange. Take it for what it's worth.

DON’T PULL A KNOWLES
“Naturally, you’re going to look out for your family.
There’s a lot of things I didn’t understand at 18 and there’s a lot of things I
knew, that [the girls] didn’t understand. [Hiring family] gives a little
favoritism. [In Destiny's Child] I felt like I was put aside… Matthew [Knowles]
was our manager, then Tina [Knowles] did hair and styling, then our road manager
was Beyonce’s cousin, then our assistant road manager was Beyonce’s other
cousin, then we had an attorney that was Beyonce’s other cousin, and Solange
that was traveling with us. Her whole family was on tour with them… If there was
someone else I could’ve spoken to outside of the family, I think it would’ve
been a lot better.”

WATCH OUT FOR PORN STARS
“[One of Pheenix's
girls did porn] in the past, but no one had any knowledge about it. There was so
much money put into the situation and the types of endorsements we were looking
forward to getting, unfortunately we would’ve been able to get those types of
deals without her having done that. The main thing is that she wasn’t honest.
Everyone has a past, but I found out from a friend randomly calling me, like,
‘Yo, you need to come over, I can’t tell you I gotta show you.’ Background
checks are very necessary because there was a lot of money spent on that deal… a
lot of producers, a lot of time and guess who has to pay that back?…’”

IF YOU’RE NOT THE BEYONCE, FALL BACK
“If you’re getting in a
[Destiny’s Child] type group, then that’s what you’re getting into. But if that
wasn’t explained to you and there were some other things that could’ve been
talked about like ‘How ’bout some people are able to sing this part’… you have
to really understand what you’re getting into and what your role is. As long as
everyone understands that then you can do well, but if you don’t understand that
it can be confusing…

It was so crazy, because although Beyonce is who
she is today, we were friends first and I was already doing my own thing. I
already had a $650,000 house. I already had a Beamer and Benz. To be honest with
you, my cars were better than theirs. That’s how I was meeting them. My man was
a manager for K-Ci & Jojo, so we were well off, plus I was working three
jobs on top of that, including modeling here and there. So I didn’t feel like
the playing field was too much different. I’ve been doing this since I was
4-years-old. I was always the captain of my team…”
