Earlier this month Aretha Franklin threatened to sue author David Ritz for his unauthorized biography 'Respect: The Life of Aretha Franklin [click here if you missed that].'
In a statement to the media The Queen of Soul calls the book a trash can full of lies….
Aretha writes,
“As many of you are aware, there is a very trashy book out there full of lies and more lies about me… (The writer’s) actions are obviously vindictive because I edited out some crazy statements he had the gall to try and put in my book written 15 years ago. Evidently, he has been carrying this hatred ever since.”Trashy, you say? Wasn't planning on reading Respect at first but now how can I resist?
