Mindy McCready is getting litigious.
The crooner is suing her own mother and the company that publishes the National Enquirer over a story published earlier this month entitled, “Shameful Mindy McCready Doesn’t Deserve To Have Child Back.”
“What is shameful and heartbreaking is the unhealthy relationship I have endured with my mom over my lifetime,” McCready said in a statement.
“In all honesty, I’m saddened it has come to this; but this is not a one-time, single event to sell her ‘stories’ to the Star,The Globe and Radar Online. It has just got to stop, for me and my son.”
According to a statement released by McCready, the article in the Enquirer suggests that she failed to appear at the most recent court hearing surrounding the custody of her son to avoid taking a drug test, has not seen her son more than once in the last twelve months, is an addict who has failed a number of drug tests, and is an “unfit, bad parent who is shameless.”
McCready’s five-year-old son, Zander, currently lives with McCready’s mother, Gayle Inge, and is allowed overnight visits with his biological father, Billy McKnight.
McKnight was charged with attempted murder after beating and choking McCready in 2005.
“The statements contained in the National Enquirer article are personal attacks intended to inflict hurt and pain on Ms. McCready at the expense of the truth,” said McCready’s attorney, Andrew Douglas. “It is also unfortunate that the National Enquirer published this story without first corroborating Mrs. Inge’s statements.”
“What I want people to know is how unfairly I’ve been treated–because of my past mistakes and, quite frankly, because of my celebrity history,” said McCready. “My custody battle has been deplorable and fraudulent. My mother’s agenda, I believe, is to continue to keep my character and lifestyle ‘questionable.’ The focus needs to be about the safety and well-being of my son and not about untruthful statements that have lent to unjust results. Zander and I need to be together.”
