Carly Simon Filed a Lawsuit Against Starbucks

Singer Carly Simon had been under the radar for several years, but she comes back with a surprising news.

The famous (and mysterious) You’re So Vain singer has filed a lawsuit against popular coffeehouse chain, Starbucks for withdrawing involvement in the company’s music label, Hear Music, just five days before the singer’s album was due to come out last year.

In the lawsuit, 64-year-old Simon claimed that Hear Music delivered a marketing plan to her that confirmed that her album, This Kind of Love, would be extensively marketed and distributed at Starbucks locations in the United States and in Canada. But then without prior notice, Starbucks decided to withdraw from Hear Music.

As a result of the sudden Starbucks’ withdrawal, all of the executives responsible for promoting Simon’s album were fired and Simon became signed to jazz label Concord Music, which “had none of the assets that constituted the reason for Ms. Simon’s decision” to sign with Hear Music. The songstress is suing for deceit, tortious interference and unfair business practices.

Hmmm…, I bet Carly Simon is not liking the coffee right now…
