Clive Davis vs. Kelly Clarkson: Kelly’s Got (Outspoken) Back-Up

HowardSternKelly

Seems like Kelly Clarkson isn’t the only who thinks someone should keep his foot out of his mouth.

Following the fracas caused between her and record exec Clive Davis regarding his hand in her early career, shock jock Howard Stern has stepped to the plate to call out the 80-year-old music legend in his treatment of the American Idol star in his new memoir, The Soundtrack to My Life.

On his radio show Wednesday morning, the America’s Got Talent judge expressed that he found it “sickening when management guys like to set the record straight about how f–king creative and what geniuses they are.”

He backed up Kelly’s longevity in the music industry and attacked Davis’ (alleged) actions regarding her songwriting skills.

“I think she has an amazing voice, and the girl has worked hard to get to where she is,” he offered. “I don’t understand Clive Davis’ motivation for knocking this chick down.”

“And, like, this guy’s trying to diminish what she does”, he continued. “Doesn’t he have enough in life? Can’t he sort of tell his story without f–king degrading her and putting her down?”

Strong words — but he has a point.
