Clive Davis Responds to Kelly Clarkson



Music mogul Clive Davis has responded to Kelly Clarkson‘s criticism of his new memoir, and her accusations that he is a liar, and that he “bullied” her, “belittled” her music and called her a “shitty writer.”

In his new book “The Soundtrack of My Life,” Davis wrote about how difficult Clarkson was to work with at the beginning of the career and how “emotional” she was at times. 
As anyone who has read “The Soundtrack of My Life” knows, I think Kelly Clarkson is a tremendous vocal talent and performer. In the book, I provide an in-depth look at our years together during which we shared major multi-platinum success, as well as a few creative differences. I am truly very sorry that she has decided to take issue with what I know to be an accurate depiction of our time together. 
Before the book was published, I had every fact checked with five independent individuals who were present on a daily basis throughout it all. The chapter as it is written was thoroughly verified by each and every one of them. I stand by the chapter as written in my book. At the same time I wish, and will always wish, Kelly’s talent and her career to soar to ever new heights. 
- Clive Davis
