A shocking new book paints Aretha Franklin as a jealous monster – and now the Queen of Soul is threatening to sue the author!
The National ENQUIRER got a sneak peek of the unauthorized bio, “Respect: The Life of Aretha Franklin,” which claims Aretha especially resented Whitney Houston, and tensions between the two exploded in 1989 when they sang “It Isn’t, It Wasn’t, It Ain’t Never Gonna Be.”
“Aretha kept calling it a mismatch,” her late agent, Ruth Bowen, once told the book’s author, David Ritz.
“She said that Whitney lacked her wisdom and maturity as a recording artist, but I just think Aretha was nervous about being outsung by someone from the next generation.”
