Delta Goodrem has issued a statement via her official website in response to reports that she had sacked her mother as her manager to benefit her international career. As previously reported,
Australian newspaper the Herald Sun claimed that the pop singer had fired Lea Goodrem after being told by SonyBMG in New York that she could kiss goodbye to the idea of breaking America if she didn't do it.
Goodrem:
"I am very disappointed about today's reports. My relationship with my mother is as strong as ever and we are a great team.
We have been looking for the right international manager for the next step of my international career."
