Freddie Mercury's Alleged Love Child Criticizes Biopic as Fabricated

A woman claiming to be Freddie Mercury's secret daughter has publicly criticized the 2018 biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, calling it "full of fabrication" and saying the late Queen frontman would have been "appalled" by the film. She alleges that the movie distorted key facts about Mercury's life, including the timeline of his HIV diagnosis, and that actor Rami Malek's portrayal lacked the happiness and smiles characteristic of Mercury. This woman, identified only as 'B', claims a close relationship with Mercury, who gave her 17 personal journals starting from 1976, which she has vowed to keep private. She also accused those close to the band, including Mary Austin, of exploiting Mercury's legacy and distorting the truth about his life. The revelations and criticisms coincide with the upcoming release of the biography Love, Freddie, by Lesley-Ann Jones, which explores the claims of Mercury fathering a child during a 1976 affair. Mercury's confidante Mary Austin has denied knowledge of any secret daughter and expressed skepticism about the diaries, prompting the woman to express devastation over Austin's remarks.
