LaTavia Roberson has revealed that being "dismissed" from Destiny's Child caused her to suffer from depression. 

She told People magazine that it was a difficult situation to navigate and only found out that she was no longer in the group after seeing their music video for 'Say My Name' on the television: "I never left Destiny's Child. That is something that people say. But who would leave Destiny's Child? That's crazy! I was dismissed from the group."

"It was very difficult because of the way that I found out about it. I hate even talking about it, and it's been 20 years - but it is what it is. We saw the 'Say My Name' video on TV, and that's how I found out I was no longer in the group."

"It was very difficult. I'm pretty sure that it was difficult for all of us - because we were young. My issue was always with the management; it was never with the girls."

She concluded: "It was almost like a bad divorce. You're no longer with your friends, people that you love so much. So that was hard in itself, and then being by myself at that time, when other aspects starting taking a hold of me, it led me into a depression. And it wasn't pretty..."
