Aretha Franklin Says New Biography Is Full of Lies
. Not content with the way in which it portrays her love life and promiscuity, jealousy of other performers, and alcoholism, Franklin has issued a statement, tackling the book's salacious allegations head-on. "As many of you are aware, there is a very trashy book out there full of lies and more lies about me," she wrote (via New York Daily News). "Clearly the writer has no class, no conscience or standards!" "To say I was jealous of Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross and Whitney Houston is just plain crazy!!!," she writes. "After 50 years of great family, friends, fans, music and concerts; 18 GRAMMY Awards-a record number, the National Medal of Arts, the Presidential Medal of Freedom-the highest civilian award in the country, and too many other awards for which I'm thankful. Please give me one reason why I would be jealous? I appreciate and enjoy them all!" Read more here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
