Kelly Clarkson apologizes in online statement

Pop sensation Kelly Clarkson has decided to set the record straight about her relationship with BMG chairman Clive Davis and about her career.

Clarkson added a statement on the front page of her Website apologizing to Clive Davis for comments she made about him regarding her latest album "My December." The statement emphasizes that she wants her band, and those closest to her and her record label, to be a "tightly knit family."

"A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive. Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and taken out of context," Clarkson said in the statement.

"My December" sold 41,000 copies in the last week bringing the total to just half a million. Compared to Clarkson's last album, "Breakaway," which sold millions and gave Clarkson several hits, the sales are terrible.

Davis, Clarkson said in the statement, "is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key adviser 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."

Clarkson was forced to fire her manager, Jeff Kwatinetz, who was replaced with country singer Reba McIntyre's husband. Clarkson also canceled her tour.

"I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice," says Clarkson.
