Kelly Clarkson has posted a message on the front page of her Website "to set the record straight.
"I want my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family," she writes.
"A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive (Davis). Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and taken out of context. Contrary to recent characterizations in the press, I'm well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key advisor and has been an important force in my success to date. He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so. I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice. I would never intentionally hurt anyone."
