Because Marcelo was there to say Tuomas is in love with her and his jealousy was the only reason she got fired in the end. She's handed her career over to him and it's pretty easy to see he didn't want her doing any of the talking in regard to what was happening. Pretty much all the problems involving her and the band were public knowledge. We all know the shows were never officially confirmed for the US tours (the only confirmed date was the NE Hardcore & Metal Fest) and clubs jumped too early on selling tickets but they still were deep into the process of getting that tour when she rejected it. The thing I have to wonder about her complaining in regard to no backstage women's bathrooms is just how hard is it to use them as a unisex bathroom? I've been to clubs where the public bathroom is a unisex bathroom (the Avalon in NYC is simply awesome). And as someone pointed out, how do you only find out about a show a week before it is supposed to occur? If the singer actually acted like part of the band, they should know about the going ons. Did Marcelo forget to pass on the message that she had a gig that night? Look at the End of Innocence dvd. I remember people complaining about the lack of Tarja in it. If she's not hanging out with the band outside of shows, how else was she to end up on it? Kerrang had an award show and after party. The article specifically pointed out that Tarja did not attend the after party while the rest of the band did (this was probably about 6 months before she was fired). She didn't want to be a part of this band and as I mentioned to someone once saying the band had left themselves high and dry when they fired Tarja, what exactly were they supposed to do when she decided to leave on her own a year or 2 later? It was either act now when they planned to take time off or scramble later.
Perhaps they could have done it in a better fashion. Though airing out all the dirty laundry from the start did prevent the onslaught of speculation (for the most part anyway).
