Overview

  • Identified publicly only as B, the woman says the 2018 film is "full of fabrication" and claims Mercury would have been appalled by its portrayal.
  • She objects to how the movie handled his AIDS diagnosis and alleges timeline errors, adding that Rami Malek’s depiction lacked the joy she associates with her father.
  • B says she decided to speak to biographer Lesley-Ann Jones to correct the record and contends Mercury would have blocked the film without his input.
  • Her paternity claim, tied to an alleged 1976 affair, is presented with references to 17 personal journals and a private DNA test that have not been made public.
  • Mary Austin is reported to have said she knew nothing of a child, a stance B calls devastating, while Brian May and producer Graham King have previously defended the film as a dramatization rather than a documentary.
