In essence, that's similar to the the version i've heard: that their management had always had an eye towards Eternal potentially breaking america as an RnB band and that they included Louise only temporarily in an initial bid to break the UK market. As far as I know, all parties were aware she'd eventually go solo so, while it wasn't underhand, the whole band do seem to have been conceived in accordance with contrasting industry 'requirements'. Either way, I'm sure it happens all the time.
