| Kelly Clarkson |
According to mailonline.com, the 30-year-old star wrote a
damming open letter Tuesday after the record executive claimed that she broke
into 'hysterical sobbing' when he demanded that her smash hit 'Since U Been
Gone' be included on her album, Breakaway.
Kelly - whose stellar career was guided by Davis after she won American Idol - lashed
out, saying: '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.'
In what is turning into a war of words between the pair the
80-year-old took to Twitter to defend his book, writing: '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.'
Clive said. “Before the book was published, I had every fact
checked with five independent individuals who were present on a daily basis
throughout it all.'
However, Davis recalled that he didn't believe the material
contained a number one hit and told the singer's manager he was 'out of his
mind' to believe otherwise.
He also wrote about a meeting with Kelly in which he told
her that My December was “a pop album that still needs pop hits'.
But in a lengthy statement posted on Whosay, Kelly wrote: '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.'
'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 "s****y writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon
me.'
