Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson has hit out at music legend Clive Davis for ‘spreading false information’ about her in his new tell-all memoir. The 30-year-old star wrote a damming open letter today 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 a lengthy statement posted on Whosay,

Kelly wrote: ‘So I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music.  ‘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.’ Read more
