    Kelly Clarkson Assails Clive Davis Over His Memoir

    Kelly Clarkson accused the label executive Clive Davis of distorting their tumultuous history in his newly published memoir “The Soundtrack of My Life,” saying his account of how he managed her career was full of “memory lapses and misinformation.”

    “Growing up is awesome because you learn you don’t have to cower to anyone — even Clive Davis,” Ms. Clarkson said in a vitriolic letter posted on the Whosay Web site.

    In his book, Mr. Davis, the founder of Arista and currently the chief creative officer of Sony Music Entertainment, paints a portrait of Ms. Clarkson as a headstrong and outspoken diva who sometimes ignored his advice.

    He said she bitterly opposed putting “Since U Been Gone” and “Behind These Hazel Eyes” — two songs written by the hitmakers Max Martin and Dr. Luke — on her second album, “Breakthrough.” Both became big hits and helped her career. Mr. Davis relates how Ms. Clarkson “burst into hysterical sobbing” when he insisted on including the tracks.

    He also accused her of disregarding his advice to delay the release of her third album, “My December,” on which she co-wrote the songs, because he believed it did not have enough tracks with Top 10 potential. That album had only one Top 10 hit and sold few copies compared to “Breakaway,” which sold more than six million copies in the United States alone and established Ms. Clarkson as a major pop star.

    In her letter, Ms. Clarkson denied she had

    Kelly Clarkson: Clive Davis 'Spreading False Information About Me And My Music'

    Pop star Kelly Clarkson isn't singing her praises over record executive Clive Davis' new memoir.

    The 'Stronger' singer says she wants to set the record straight over what she calls 'false information' in Davis' book. She claims the 80-year-old Sony Music Entertainment CCO mixed up details and omitted others when writing about her.

    'I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses ... It feels like a violation,' the 30-year-old Clarkson said in a recent online post, 'Growing up is awesome because you learn you don't have to cower to anyone - even Clive Davis.'

    Clarkson cites an incident in Davis' book in which he allegedly claims that she cried in his office after not wanting the chart-topping single 'Since You've Been Gone' on her album. She claims this is false, and that she did cry in his office once but that was over another song, 'Because of You.'

    '[Davis] told me verbatim that I was a 'sh*tty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me,'' Clarkson said in her post. '['Because of You'] became a worldwide hit. He didn't include that in the book.'

    Among her other claims, Clarkson says that Davis once 'stood up in front of his company at a convention and belittled me and my music.' That's not in the book either
