Perspective
"F.U.R.B. (Fuck You Right Back)" topped the charts in the United Kingdom in May 2004,[2] and Australia in June 2004. While Eamon initially said that he selected Frankee to record the song at an audition, he later stated that his only involvement was in clearing the use of the music with the following statement:
"I was not involved with 'F.U.R.B.' I have never met Frankee and she is definitely not my girlfriend or ex-girlfriend. The only way I was associated with it was when I was asked for licensing permission by Frankee's representatives, which makes me a writer on her song by copyright law. But I really didn't expect all this to come out of it, they are having fun with it, it's cool but in the end they are paying me for their 15 minutes of fame and I welcome her to my world of Ho-Wop!"[3][4]
— Eamon
After leaving Marro Records in 2006, she signed with Big Management[5] immediately afterwards to record a new album.[6] A single, "Watch Me", was released as a digital download in 2006.[7] This song failed to chart, and Frankee was dropped from Big Entertainment.
Later, she worked as a model.[8]
In May 2025, the New York Post reported that Spinelli was a police officer in Staten Island raising two daughters.[1]
