CAMDEN, Maine — Don McLean has threatened to sue a weekly newspaper that wrote about his former wife’s photo exhibition about domestic abuse, which includes a copy of the protection order issued against him.

The “American Pie” singer and Patrisha McLean divorced after a domestic incident in their home in 2016. McLean pleaded guilty to charges that were dismissed after he met the terms of a plea agreement.

Patrisha McLean is using her exhibit to draw attention to domestic violence by sharing victims’ stories. The Free Press of Rockland wrote about the exhibition Feb. 7.
