I remember this pretty much being the case back in the day. They even made Farrah darken her hair color when it was light because it took attention away from Beyonce on some petty catty nonsense

I asked a question and this is your response??

How is that the case when that was speculation from fans?? Kinda like the speculation of Bow Wow being raped by his limo driver and Ciara being a hermaprodite.....How can one argue with what fans say compared to what Kelly and Bey said out of their mouths?
I'm trying to find that Kelly article but no luck........I did find someone who actually remembers as I do.....The real reason she was kicked out was made well know immediatly after she got kicked out....It was because of Tariq Nasheeds book....Peep how this commenter explains how it was in all the articles including New York Times magazines..... so if anyone comes in here talking otherwise that means ya'll just weren't in the know back in the day:
Farrah Franklin: “I’d Do Destiny’s Child Reunion”

No, she was kicked out. Yeah, I remember because I read about it in the New York Times Magazine, of all rags. She was given the boot not just because she couldn’t keep up with the schedule, but because she posed on the cover of Tariq Nasheed’s book, “The Art of Macking.” DC was marketing itself as a family friendly group, so they couldn’t have one of the members portraying herself as an ornament for some small-time, hood rapper, pop-corn pimp.

I never knew that book was the impetus behind her getting kicked out.
Book is classic, tho. Picked that bad boy up about 2004, and been following him ever since.

Naa....I asked him. He down played it and said that she was beautiful girl and that when she got kicked out people were hounding him for dirt.
Here's a Vibe article...But its not the one I was refering to where Kelly was going in.
2001 vibe article on destinys child
Farrah was given her pink slip last summer after missing an important series of engagements, namely a weeklong promotional tour in Australia. All agree she never really fit in with the group's image. It also didn't help that two months after Farrah joined the group she was found on the cover of Tariq "K-Flex" Nasheed's unabashed how-to-manipulate-women book The Art of Mackin', draped over the author, who is portrayed on the cover as an unsavory mack. "Destiny's Child does not have a bad-girl image," Kelly says.

That bytch bad af
That whole "bad for our image" thing has to be bullshyt.
Nobody kicks out a group member over something so trivial.
That book thing sounds like some excuse to boot a bytch they wanted to get rid of anyway.
You know how close group members of bands are? They don't abandon each other over things like that.
And it's not like that was a monster book. I doubt that ever made any Best Seller lists.

Actually the Art of Mackin was a New York Times best seller & has sold over 250,000 copies (probably more than this to date as Tariq mentions he still gets residuals from his book sales).
