ANDREA: I loved Daphne, I could see she was a hard worker and I knew the passion she had. But I also had to look at this from a business perspective, once again her stability as an artist was questioned.
I don't know what it was in me that dove into the deep end with her, but I'd see too many reps and industry personnel try and contain her... It might've been an ego boost to me, that I was the right one for her.
DAPHNE: I begged her. I begged her to give me this chance. I promised that I would be in the studio, I'd work on this the whole time. Mind you, I was fresh out of the hospital and all I could talk about was Andrea keeping me on.
I said I'd make it big. Give me the budget and I'll quadrupole the funds back.
ANDREA: She was always pretty damn convincing.
DAPHNE: I automatically assumed I'd be punished for losing it so I didn't stop.
I also think, at that point, being pregnant hadn't smacked me in the face yet. I heard it, I saw the lines on a little screen but it just didn't make sense to me yet.
I said I'd make it big. Give me the budget and I'll quadrupole the funds back. She said I was practically gonna be the most hated woman in the industry, and I said it was perfect.
I had less than two days going for me now. I was resting and going through some things with Andrea, Tyler and Daisy beside me.
I was angry. I was still absolutely infuriated by what was to come and quickly realising that the timeline of my career wasn't about to go down traditionally.
DAISY: We had a conversation about her pregnancy, what she was comfortable with. She wanted to keep him, she always did.
DAPHNE: So really, I was asking the impossible with little to no guarantee for Andrea and my label. Give me a year, give me a year to make you millions and settle myself.
But I wasn't stupid, this wasn't going to be complete isolation. I'd be in the public eye but we'd frame it like I was working on myself after my final performance with the band... This now needed to be... it just needed to be chaotic enough to work.
I needed to create buzz.
So I went straight to work, and I hatched a fucking insane plan.
DAISY: Checkmate. She couldn't lose.
TYLER: It was all by design.
ANDREA: She's a mastermind.
DAPHNE: [Laughing] What if I told you none of it was accidental?
