Gospel Singer Suing McDonalds for Ruining Her Voice
First hot coffee, now broken glass. A Brooklyn gospel singer is suing McDonalds after she allegedly bit into a shard of glass "bigger than a penny" in her chicken sandwich, which she claims ruined her singing voice.
Jacqueline Simpson is a 52-year-old singer and clerk in the Attorney General's office. She filed suit in Brooklyn Supreme Court this week after biting the glass at a Broadway McDonalds in 2010.
“Now when I sing, I have a hoarse, rattly voice,” Simpson said. “I still sing alto, but I can’t sing soprano like I used to.”
“I have to make a lot of calls for work, and I have to tell people that I’m not a man,’’ she added. “Before, that never happened.”
