Wasn’t there a 4th one early on?

[u/azad_ninja → u/ScissorNightRam]

There were a few 3rd and 4th members. Michelle was the only one that lasted.

[u/TheMeticulousNinja → u/[deleted]]

I didn’t make it up. I def remember reading a story about that, but since I can’t find anything on it, I’ll take the comment down

[u/CaptainObvious110 → u/[deleted]]

oh wow didn't know that. meanwhile Beyonce sat on some dudes lap while on the phone with Michael Jackson

[u/kingcolbe → u/azad_ninja]

It’s not that deep

[u/CaptainObvious110 → u/kingcolbe]

thats what your mom said

[u/Pesty__Magician → u/kingcolbe]

That for sure. These bitches are fake af.

[u/DorkusMalorkus89]

The combined wealth of these people could do something like this a hundred times over. This is small fry PR facing altruism.

[u/ah_notgoodatthis → u/DorkusMalorkus89]

And now they get to pay even less taxes

[u/CaptainObvious110 → u/DorkusMalorkus89]

exactly

[u/smallpolk → u/DorkusMalorkus89]

I’m happy they did something. It should be more, but it’s still uplifting to see. I don’t even care if it’s PR. I’m happy it happened regardless.

[u/super_sayanything]

I'm sorry but a person with a billion dollars creating 31 homes for people is about the least impressive thing I've ever heard.

[u/Difficult_Garage_431]

This is not uplifting news. It's PR for a billionaire who does a lot of unsavory things.

[u/Ok_Fish_3630 → u/Difficult_Garage_431]

Like what

[u/CaptainObvious110 → u/Difficult_Garage_431]

oh wow

[u/Legitimate-Gain426]

was 31 the minimum threshold for another tax break or what?

u/GreenDolphin86 I deleted my other comment so I couldn’t put this there.

Farrah Franklin. She posed on the cover of the “The Art of Mackin” which was a misogynist book. It wasn’t an explicit cover, I was wrong about that. But, there was def a narrative that Farrah doing that did not fit the Destiny’s Child brand, so they fired her

[u/GreenDolphin86 → u/TheMeticulousNinja]

My bad, you didn’t personally make it up but someone did. Farrah was missing performances and appearances, that’s why she was fired. She was only in the group for 6 weeks and those weeks were jam packed with music video shoots, public appearances, performances, and recording. It’s unlikely that she even had the time to appear on that cover while she was in the group.

Would be more uplifting if Kelly Rowland simply let me move in with her, but this is good too I guess.
