When asked if she's had a chance to speak with Ross during the last few weeks, Wilson said, "I have not spoken to her but I would love to. I really have tried to reach out to her but I can't reach her. I can't get in touch with her."
When Ross launched the Supremes reunion tour several years ago, Wilson was left out of the lineup. Despite any ill feelings Wilson might have had towards her former groupmate over the snub, she took the high road and refused to speculate on what exactly could be occurring with Ross. "You know, that's very personal," Wilson said. "I think that people go through things in their lives. And unfortunately for entertainers, you know, our lives are in the papers for everyone to scrutinize, and I don't want to be the one to talk on that."
