Why was Florence Ballard fired from The Supremes?

florence ballard was mad because she was push in the back with Mary Wilson. "Over the next two years, Ballard and Gordy argued frequently, particularly as Ross became the group's centerpiece.During the first half of 1967, Gordy decided that he would be changing the group's name to Diana Ross and The Supremes. As the year progressed, Ballard frequently missed public appearances; and sometimes missed recording sessions as well.Ballard's final performance with the group was in late June/early July 1967 during their second engagement at the Flamingo_Hotelin Las_Vegas_Strip. After Ballard unexpectedly stuck out her stomach from between the jacket and pants of her outfit during scripted onstage patter in the first show of the night, Gordy was outraged. He ordered her not to go onstage for the next show and instructed her to take the next plane home to Detroit.In August 1967, the Detroit Free Pressreported that Ballard was taking a temporary leave of absence from the group because of "exhaustion." Ballard's career as a performing Supreme was over." wikipedia florence ballard
