Problematic Faves: Celebrities We Love Even Though They Act Up

Aretha Franklin
Like James Brown, Aretha was always playing in my house. So much so that even though I grew up in the 90s when girl groups with light sounds were all the rage, Franklin has remained my favorite singer. She just gives you so much. The gospel, the secular, the sultry. No one sounds like her. Still, we can’t lie about the fact that Auntie, the original Re Re likes to stir up confusion and cause drama. I’m convinced that, regardless of what Patti LaBelle says, Aretha doesn’t like her. And I also know that the mess between she and Dionne Warwick is so petty and unnecessary. Still my fave though.
