Singer sues McDonalds

Singer sues McDonalds - One gospel singer is taking a popular fast-food chain to court for allegedly wrecking her prized commodity: her voice.

Jacqueline Simpson, 52, filed a lawsuit with Brooklyn Supreme Court alleging that her voice has been ruined after biting into a chicken sandwich which contained a piece of glass from a McDonald's in downtown Manhattan in May of 2010.

According to the New York Post Simpson, who is a Law Department Document specialist with the Attorney General's office in New York, maintains that the glass was 'bigger than a penny.'

Outside of her role as a clerk Simpson sang gospel in Brooklyn - a hobby that has taken a toll since her accident.

Simpson told the Post that her new voice has dramatically altered the octave range she can attain. 'I still sing alto, but I can’t sing soprano like I used to.'

'Now when I sing, I have a hoarse, rattly voice,' she also disclosed.

The McDonald's at the center of the suit is located at 160 Broadway just a few blocks from the Attorney General's office.

'I have to make a lot of calls for work, and I have to tell people that I’m not a man.'
