Last week a satire news site published a report that Aretha Franklin and Patti Labelle had gotten into a knock down drag out fight at the airport in Atlanta [click here if you missed that].
Aretha Franklin is not laughing…
According to reports Aretha Franklin has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the News Nerd website.
Aretha Franklin tells The Detroit News,
"The stories were not presented as satire or humor. It was presented as a serious news story intended to depict me in a slanderous and derogatory way -- defamation of character."A disclaimer at the bottom of the News Nerd website describes the page as purely satirical and for entertainment purposes only.
