Elton John's counsel says ex-wife wants to 'tarnish his name' after suicide attempt claim

express.co.uk:

"It will be established in the case that there were multiple affectionate correspondences from Renate direct to Elton during this time."She explained: "We also find it baffling that this claim is centred around privacy when at every stage of these proceedings Renate has chosen to file these claims in the public domain (when she could have chosen to keep them confidential) about supposed experiences that happened during their marriage which completely goes against the entire grounds of the case."She then said: "This only goes to show the true purpose of this claim which is to extract a large sum of money from Elton and tarnish his name publicly with falsehoods."Despite the pair previously agreeing to not speak about their marriage in public.
