EnVogue decided for the 50th time that they can't work together and have split into 2 groups. Maxine and Dawn...plus 2 replacement members. On the other side there's Cindy and Terry...plus Rhona Bennett (who was Dawn's old replacement member once upon a time.) Both groups are calling themselves En Vogue.

Writing on Twitter, Robinson said:

Responding, remaining members, Cindy and Terry offered the following:

“Dear EnVogue fans,

In regards to the recent twitter and face book posts alleging
that Terry and Cindy have replaced Maxine Jones with Rhona, we would
like to respond. Terry and Cindy are not replacing Maxine Jones. We have
however asked Rhona to fill in temporarily so that we can continue to
bring live shows to our fans. Thus far, Rhona has only done three shows
with us since June 2012. The group has always added someone whenever a
member has been unable or unwilling to perform or has left the group.
Terry and I have not kicked Maxine out of the group. There are always
two sides to a story and many internal facts that you the fans aren’t
hearing about. In an effort to not air dirty laundry, or appear to point
the finger at anyone, we respectfully choose to remain silent on the
internal issues. We appreciate you the fans continuing to support
Envogue individually, and as a whole.

Thank you,

Cindy and Terry”

Whatever. You can probably catch both versions playing at the same casino.

They're only hurting themselves. What's left of their fan base is only interested in seeing the original line up. Splitting into two different groups with the same name is just forcing people to choose which one to see. In the end, most people will probably say eff it and not bother with either. If they cannot work it out (stay in separate hotels, don't speak off stage) for the money, they need to kill the group for once and for all.

Seems to me that the group isn't that profitable anymore. They were thee seminal girl group of the 90s, one that most of the others tried to pattern themselves after in some way or another, but I don't think they ever had it together contractual-wise. That's why they wound up imploding so fast.

Dawn and Maxine sat down with Access Hollywood to discuss the situation.
