Kreviazuk recently said during an interview with Performing Songwriter that Lavigne had stolen her song. The story came just after an American group had filed a formal complaint against Lavigne for plagiarism.
Kreviazuk released a statement yesterday. "I would like to apologize for any misconceptions concerning Avril Lavigne, which may have resulted from statements I made in my interview with Performing Songwriter Magazine," said Kreviazuk. "It was not my intention to call Avril’s songwriting ability or ethics into question."
Earlier, Lavigne responded to Kreviazuk’s accusation on her official website, saying, "Chantal’s comments are damaging to my reputation and a clear defamation of my character and I am considering taking legal action."
