At this one party of all women clients, Diamond got wasted past sound consciousness & Ronnie raped her. Apparently, Ronnie once had Diamond along for her side gig of moonlighting as an escort (w/ clients' genders left ambiguous).
During this time, we get a flashback from Diamond that answers the reason for her fallout w/Ronnie. Later, when Diamond's 18-year-old cousin, Ebony, comes to stay w/her (w/her intentions of working at the club), Ronnie, knowing it would get under Diamond's skin, immediately latches on to Ebony & begins manipulating/corrupting her. When Diana, now know as Diamond, first starts, Ronnie takes her under her wing for a period of time until Diamond abruptly breaks from her. She persuaded the film's protagonist, Diana, into quitting her shoe store job & working at the club for more money. Ronnie, along w/her friend/partner-in-crime Tricks, is the HBIC among the ranks of the dancers at the Players Club. Greedy, Self-centered, Manipulative Ronnie (Chrystale Wilson) is the main antagonist of the 1998 movie The Players Club.
