Although many people have been praising music mogul Clive Davis for opening up about his bisexuality in his new memoir, "The Soundtrack Of My Life," others like pop star Kelly Clarkson are displeased by the revelations that Davis reveals in his new book. According to Clarkson, Davis is "spreading false information" about her and her music.
Davis and the former "American Idol" had a falling out in 2007 due to a conflict of opinion over her music. In her own words, the "Stronger" singer released a statement clarifying the lies that she accuses Davis of spreading. Her statement reads:
"So I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music. I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don't have to cower to anyone - even Clive Davis.
First, he says I burst into "hysterical sobbing" in his office when he demanded Since You Been Gone be on my album. Not true at all. His stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the original demo and Clive did not. Max, Luke and I still fought for the bigger sound and we prevailed and I couldn't be more proud of the life of that song. I resent him dampening that song in any way.
But, yes, I did cry in his office once. I cried after I played him a song I had written about my life called "Because Of You." I cried because he hated it and told me verbatim that I was a "sh*tty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me." He continued on about how the song didn't rhyme and how I should just shut up and sing. This was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a musical hero and was so honored to work with."
