Get this book or read more reviews of it by using the links below |
“Confessions of a Bad, Ugly Singer” is a true story of one woman’s fight against a $10,000,000 lawsuit, a sexist media, ageism and corruption within the legal system. In 2014 former edibleRed vocalist Collette McLafferty found herself dragged into a frivolous lawsuit between two men over a P!NK cover band that lasted 2 years. Although the case had little to do with her, the singer woke up to the headline “Singer Sued for Being Too Old and Too Ugly for P!NK Tribute Band”. This “fake news” version of events went viral worldwide.
McLafferty spent the next two years fighting the case and ultimately bringing the man who sued her to justice. Additionally, she fought for legal reform in Albany meeting with elected officials. She battled the headlines while urging women of all walks of life to flaunt their age with pride while starting the #feelnoshame movement. “Confessions of a Bad, Ugly Singer” is a true David and Goliath story with a feminist backbone and a rock and roll heart.

During the end of the nineteenth century, Edna’s decision to leave her husband and child and take a lover was considered a revolutionary act. Chopin’s unorthodox depiction of one woman’s struggle to fight against the restraints southern society placed on her is still the benchmark of our times a century later.
