Fans To Sue Clay Aiken

Upset Clay Fans Plan Class Action Lawsuit.
Nine fans of AMERICAN IDOL star CLAY AIKEN are considering launching a
class
action lawsuit against the singer and his record company bosses
following US
tabloid allegations he's gay.
The unnamed fans were shocked by recent unconfirmed claims from a
retired
soldier that he enjoyed a gay romp with the singer in a hotel room.
In the absence of a firm denial from Aiken, the upset devotees are
deliberating filing a class-action lawsuit and a possible Fair Trade
Commission complaint against the recording and promotional entities
behind
Aiken - after finding a lawyer who will take their case.
The fans are taking great care to protect their identities because
they're
already received serious threats from other Aiken fans.
One of the distressed fans, who is leading the class action charge,
says,
"Because of the threats that have risen out of this, we are being very
careful with what information we reveal, as we settle everything and
first
make arrangements for the safety of ourselves and our families."
She adds, "The individuals behind the lawsuit are nine former fans. We
are
all different ages and backgrounds."
"We are accusing (record labels) RCA and Sony BMG of having a vested
interest in the marketing and promotion of Clay Aiken as a virginal,
asexual
character.
"The recent media about Clay has shown this to, apparently, be a lie,
and
that image (was) only designed to enrich the record company at the
expense
of consumers. We think that is false advertising.
"So, through our complaints, we would hope to force the record
companies to
admit their culpability in this manner and give refunds to anyone who
bought
into the Clay Aiken myth... As former fans, we just feel ripped off and
hurt.
"We believe that this was absolutely fraudulent and that we may have
actionable recourse against the record company."

Probably because people will point to them in the street and laugh at
them for being idiots?

Tell me you aren't gullible enough to believe this nonsense. It's all part
of the smear campaign run by professional queers to ruin Clay's career.

Of course I didn't make it up. I found it online. I even included the
source of the posted article. Why is everyone jumping up my ass about
this? All I did was post a published news story.

I'm not jumping on your ass. I just thought it was funny to think that
ANYONE would believe this story.

Professional queers? People get paid to be queer?

I'm talking about people like Perez Hilton and Billy Masters who wouldn't
have a job spreading rumors and gossip if they weren't gay.

Express wrote it up as a "press release" and sent a mass-mailing to
every entertainment outlet inbox they could find. Only a handful of
sites actually fell for it.
They're P.O.ed that all major entertainment media, even the late night
comedians, have ignored this story for the garbage it is and they're
trying to keep it in the headlines by involving Aiken's fans. It didn't
really work. But it's amazing ... and rather frightening ... the
lengths to which some freaks will go to bring the poor kid down.

Can you provide proof of who started all this? It was more than obvious
that the story wasn't true. They really didn't plan this very well. I mean
Clay could fuck a man right in front of all his fans and his fans would
still think he is a straight virgin. They don't want to see the truth.
G D
activities that go on at her sites, especially KCE. It started out as a
joke on the board and then one of the ringleaders, who often posts at
Clay boards posing as a disgruntled Clay fan, crossed the line and
actually sent out the story. It's pretty much SOP for them. They've
done much worse, believe it or not.
Your view of Aiken's fans is pretty myopic. You need to stop hanging
out at the Clayboard where most of the conservatives can be found. His
fans are all over the place in terms of religion, musical taste and

His fans are all over the place in terms of religion, musical tastes and
just about every issue there is. They never agree on anything except
Aiken's talent. You'd be surprised how many of them couldn't care less
what his sexual persuasion is, but they do agree that it's no one's
business.
Why are you so obsessed about it, Giggles?

This is just one more example of how some haters are trying to ruin Clay's
career. By doing this, they can hurt his fans who are the primary
target.

And he could do the same to a woman right on stage and his detractors
wouldn't believe he's straight.
He doesn't have a problem with gays; his faith doesn't preclude that. He's
had openly gay people in his tour "family". He's said multiple times that
he's straight, and unless he says otherwise, that's good enough for me. It
doesn't affect his great voice either way.
For some unknown reason there are people who would like to silence that
voice. I don't know why, but thankfully, I don't think they're winning.
G D
and why it is so important to them to destroy him and his fans. They
spend much more time obsessing over Aiken than they do over the idol
they claim to love.

Oh, there is a reason, Beth. They hate his fans. Remember the IT
Tour? Remember the Ruben/Clay comparisons after AI was over?
Yes, it's all the fault of the fans. I wouldn't be surprised if the fans
got blamed for global warming next.
