Yeah, about that, while kicking Effie from the group that way was too harsh, think about it:Effie had always been a egoistical and moody diva, at the point where she had no problem in basically saying that her friend Deena, who was timid and insecure, wasn't talented enough to sing lead (while Deena was in the same room, may I add) and she never told anybody that the reason she was becoming even more unprofessional was because of her pregnancy, so they kind of had all the right to want her out of the group, at least until she ''cleaned her act''.

I've wondered about that since the first time I saw this movie. I don't think that they actually hooked up until after Effie left. I think Deena was an innocent party in everything and was just manipulated by Curtis just like the rest of them because even though Curtis was looking at Deena and showing her favoritism, we never saw Deena return the gesture and it's not Deena's fault that Curtis had some kinda attraction towards her or what he thought he could make of her.

How Curtis looks at Effie at 5:51 just makes me wonder if he had some doubts about leaving her. He looked torn about his feelings. It might just be me, but I think a part of him honestly cared a lot for Effie, his greed and hunger for money and power just overruled it. Jamie Foxx played this role amazingly.
