unsubstantiated rumor that Melanie Jackson denied Playboy Japan "interview"

[Keith McMullen]

 >>>And, I'm not passing along rumors, but information
that I have acquired directly from the people who have
made inquires regarding the interview, information
that I've made some efforts to corroborate. There's a
difference.<<<

Your passing along the rumor that the authoritative information jbor 
has acquired is a rumor while your authoritative information is 
bonafide.

Neither of you provide verifiable documentation for your claims.

There's zero difference. Two p-listers making unsubstantiated claims.
