Condo Association Sues Queen Of Soul Over Unpaid Fees

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Aretha Franklin is being sued over unpaid homeowner fees at a condominium in suburban Detroit.

Hills of Lone Pine Association, a gated community in Bloomfield Hills, says more than $11,500 is owed. The Detroit News reports that the association has filed a lawsuit to try to foreclose on the famous singer's property.

The lawsuit names Franklin and two companies that hold mortgages on the $700,000 condo.

Franklin tells the News that she owns the condo but doesn't live there. She believes she's been "overcharged for years" and has paid only what's "credible and legitimate."

Franklin says her attorney is working on the dispute.
