Dan Wootton Speaks Out

News of the World Showbiz Editor Dan Wootton has spoken out on his Twitter account about the recent developments in the group. Here are some of his comments:

• HUGE BREAKING NEWS: KEISHA WILL LEAVE THE SUGABABES. JADE EWEN WILL REPLACE HER. SHE HAD NO IDEA.

• KEISHA DID NOT KNOW WHEN I SPOKE TO HER ON SATURDAY. SHE ONLY FOUND OUT THIS EVENING.

• I HAVE SPOKEN TO KEISHA. SHE’S OK.

• Keisha was booted out of her own band. She is the voice of this band. I feel her treatment has been DISGUSTING. She did EVERYTHING she could

• The Sugababes management were auditioning members and re--recording the album in LA this week BEHIND KEISHA’S BACK. WTF???

• She reached out to both Amelle and Heidi. Attempted to find out how she could change to make this work. She had never been cautioned before.

• Keisha was told that Amelle is now the Sugababes. How deluded is that? She’s the voice of the band, she wrote the songs. This is WRONG.

• I can report Island Records have bn supportive of Keisha. That’s the good news. This was driven by Heidi, Amelle and the band’s management.

• Keisha stayed in LA to try and work this out. She was prepared to make compromises to the girls so the line-up could stay in tact.

• I must stress Keisha was NOT lying to me on Saturday evening when she said Jade was not joining the band. She did not know at that point.

• The management didn’t want a member who could speak for herself and would not be muzzled. That does NOT make her a bully. I know that.

• I believe management were not happy with my iv with Keisha telling the TRUTH about Amelle’s disappearance - http://tinyurl.com/pg47w3

• Keisha caught the plane to LA with Heidi. They kissed at the airport. But Heidi did NOT stick up for her after all these years.
