Superstar Whitney Houston isn't feeling the
greatest love of all for 103.9 The Beat.
The singer has issued a complaint against the
station over comments made several weeks ago on
the "Jonesy in the A.M." show.
Houston's attorney Marty Singer said Tuesday,
"A claim has been made over comments [by
Jonesy] about Whitney Houston's family."
Jonesy hasn't been on-air since July 10. The
station says she's on vacation.
A station source yesterday said Jonesy's remarks
- concerning Houston's daughter and Houston's
brother - referenced a story Jonesy said was
being written by a supermarket tabloid.
Singer said Jonesy's remarks were
"completely fabricated" and go
"beyond the scope of defamation."
Singer yesterday declined to comment further
because the involved parties are in discussions.
Attorneys for The Beat's parent company, Radio
One, declined to comment. Calls to station GM
Lynn Bruder were not returned. Jonesy declined
comment.
