Susan Boyle is suing her brothers Gerry and John Boyle for breach of privacy, according to an article that appeared in today’s Sunday Express.

According to the report, she is suing her brothers Gerry and John Boyle for breach of privacy after they gave an interview saying that were concerned about her wellbeing.

Susan is reportedly hurt that her relatives are speaking to the media about her and her career, and she is fed up with the constant intrusions into her personal life.

The legal action was instigated after the publication last week of a magazine interview given by Gerry and John Boyle. Gerry and John have their own agent to deal with media requests on the back of Susan’s fame, so says the Express.

Gerry Boyle has spoken frequently to the media about his concern at the way Susan’s career is managed, although I have usually not reported these stories on this website as this is a fan site for Susan and I want this site to remain light hearted, pleasant and joyous, with good news about Susan’s album releases and tours, etc. Nevertheless, if Susan is indeed suing her brothers than I feel this website would be incomplete without a report of it. I do hope all the Susan fans understand this.

Gerry and John insist that they are fully supportive of Susan. However, they have made a number of allegations about how her career is managed and her state of mind, and in the interview they said the family is increasingly being ?frozen out? of Susan’s life.

They also expressed concern over the cancellation of her Australia Tour and of reports of her allegedly bizarre behaviour, and in an interview with a US magazine, John claimed that Susan was ?not being looked after properly?.

I don’t know the rights and the wrongs of all this. I do know that families fall out with each other at the best of times, just not normally under the spotlight of the media. I just want Susan to know, should she ever read my humble fan site, that all of us fans love and support her.

Susan Boyle’s brothers have leapt to her defence, after reports circulating widely in the press claim that she close to cracking up under the intense pressure and media scrutiny.

In an interview with the Edinburgh Evening News, Susan’s brother John Boyle said:? “She has been constantly hounded by fans for the past seven weeks. Like anyone she has a breaking point ? she is only human after all.

“Celebrities have professional people who insulate them from these stresses but she hasn’t had this protection.”

John criticised the Britain’s Got Talent chiefs for not doing more to look after Ms Boyle and protect her.

However, a spokesman from Britain’s Got Talent told the Press Association that Susan was receiving the support she needed from the show’s producers.

Another of Susan’s brothers, Gerry Boyle, said that Susan was coping well with the pressure under the circumstances. He said: “Susan is under tremendous strain, but she seems to be coping. She would be inhuman not to be nervous.

“She realises she’s a contestant in an open competition.

“She’s slightly bemused that people think it’s a Susan Boyle show. Her background teaches her not to think that, although she desperately wants to win and have a career around it.”

Currently the following acts have secured places in the final: Susan Boyle, Diversity, Flawless, Shaheen Jafargholi, Two Grand, Julian Smith, Shaun Smith and Stavros Flatley. Tonight’s semi final features young singer Hollie Steel, talented dancer Aidan Davis and? male soprano Greg Pritchard amongst others, all hoping for a place in tomorrow’s final.
