Aretha Franklin Demands Legal Respect
The Queen of Soul is taking a stand against the Star , suing the publication for running a story about her alleged drinking problems last week.
Franklin camp is prepared to launch a $50 million defamation lawsuit against the supermarket tab for printing what she calls an erroneous story that claimed she's been missing concert dates due to her problems with alcohol.
The story was published last week under the headline: "Aretha Franklin Drinking Herself into the Grave."
Franklin's record company, Arista, released a statement from Franklin Thursday saying she was "appalled and shocked to hear last week that there was a totally trashy and grossly untrue article using my name and likeness in a weekly sleaze supermarket paper that had no bearing whatsoever on who I am and what the truth is."
In the statement, Franklin says she "canceled one or two appearances out of 50 or more this year for legitimate reasons."
Then, Aretha really let loose. "I realize this magazine, as most intelligent Americans do, writes sleaze for big Gs about innocent celebrities and high-profile people with reckless regard for the truth and no proof of such things; based on hearsay and their personal resentments; and on the old lame bulls--t of 'sources close to.'
"Hopefully, 'sources close to' have advised them that I am filing a $50 million lawsuit for defamation of character, gross inaccuracies, and lies and the writer's cheap, low-class, vicious, and reckless attempt at journalism at my expense."
