Chantal Kreviazuk – the songwriter who accused Avril Lavigne of plagiarism – has retracted her accusations.
Kreviazuk had said that she would never write songs for Lavigne again, saying that musician will "cross the ethical line and no one says anything.”
The songwriter has today retracted those comments, however.
She told Billboard: "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.' It was not my intention to call Avril's songwriting ability or ethics into questions.”
She continued: "My statements and any inference from my statements, which call into question Avril's ethics or ability as a respected and acclaimed songwriter, should be disregarded and are retracted. Avril is an accomplished songwriter and it has been my privilege to work with her."
Despite Kreviazuk’s comments, Lavigne is still facing a lawsuit from 1970’s group, The Rubinoos, who claim that Lavigne’s song ‘Girlfriend’ includes extracts from their 1978 song, ‘I Wanna be Your Boyfriend.’

shitbag
what a fucking flake. Clearly it was her intention, unless she doesn’t understand English at all.

- wow they really didnt pay her off to say that...fuck you lavigne
- I listened to that Rubinos song. Only one line in the song sounds anything like it. I don’t think she stole their song. Theirs is too gay and slow.
