Freddie Mercury's Secret Daughter Breaks Silence
SCANDAL ROCKS QUEEN CAMP: FREDDIE'S SECRET DAUGHTER SAYS MARY AUSTIN IS LYING!
In a bombshell revelation that's set to shake the very foundations of Queen fandom, Freddie Mercury's secret daughter has come out swinging against his one-time lover and close friend Mary Austin. B, as she's known, has been keeping a decades-long secret about her father's personal life, but now she's speaking out in a tell-all book called "Love, Freddie" that hits shelves in September.
According to sources, the 34-year-old daughter of the iconic rock star claims that Mary Austin, who inherited a significant portion of Mercury's fortune, has been lying about not knowing B existed. In an explosive statement released today, B says she's devastated by Austin's alleged response and can't understand why she would deny their relationship.
B's book is set to reveal a shocking secret: that Mercury had an affair with the wife of a close friend in 1976, resulting in B's conception. The revelation has left fans stunned and Queen devotees scrambling to come to terms with their beloved star's hidden life.
Austin's denial of knowing B is all the more astonishing given that she was one of Mercury's closest confidantes and lived with him for several years before he came out as gay. But according to sources close to the project, Austin never once reached out to B or expressed any interest in getting to know her daughter.
The book, "Love, Freddie," is the result of a three-year collaboration between B and journalist Lesley Ann Jones. In an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, Jones revealed that she was shocked by Austin's response and believes it's just another example of the Queen camp trying to control the narrative around Mercury's life.
"I am surprised by Mary Austin's response," Jones said. "As a journalist I approached her for interview countless times over many years, but she never once responded. In this book, however, there is only one voice: that of Freddie's daughter herself."
B's statement also addresses allegations that she made up the story about being Mercury's secret daughter and profited from exploiting his legacy. She vehemently denies these claims and says she was motivated by a desire to set the record straight about her father's life.
"It's not just about defending me, it's also about defending myself," B said in the statement. "I want to say that after I had read the first draft of the book, the writer respected my request to remove certain passages that contained information I had revealed to her but which I subsequently decided I didn't want to be published."
B added: "She always respected my requests, wanting me to be fully satisfied with the final version. At no time did she take advantage of me. I want the public to know that I couldn't find a more attentive, patient and caring writer, and that I personally approved the final, definitive version for publication."
The revelation has left fans reeling, with many taking to social media to share their reactions. But as one thing is clear: B's story will undoubtedly spark a new wave of interest in Queen and Mercury's life, forcing fans to confront the complexities and nuances of his personal life.
As B herself said: "The past 34 years have been, for his fans, about the songs he didn't write, sing or record and the gigs he didn't perform. But for me - and I'm sure for his other close and loved ones too - these years have been about all the things we were not able to do together: discussions we couldn't have, questions we couldn't ask and answers we didn't get to give."
The question on everyone's lips is: what else will come to light in "Love, Freddie"?
