Patrisha McLean was married to the singer Don McLean for 29 years, until an incident in their home in 2016. In the interview, Don McLean declared: “I can truly say that my ex-wife is the worst person I ever knew. There was outrage that Don McLean, who had pleaded guilty to domestic violence, should be facilitated in criticising his ex-wife. How does she think fans should engage with the work of a celebrity such as Don McLean? He made no comment regarding the coercive control allegations but said his client denied ever assaulting Patrisha McLean.
