It's a crappy song (judging from the lyrics) but she's a public figure, and I can't see anything in the lyrics that insults her (unless she's a Georgetown Hoya ho!)
She might think it is in poor taste (and it is) but it is not actionable in a court of law. It is very very difficult to sue for defamation in this country. She has to prove that they wrote something about her that is knowingly false and was written with the intent to injure her. There's none of that here.
She's only helping them sell more records with the free publicity.

Yeah you're right too. I was just amazed that they'd associate her name with that song. Oh well.

There was absolutely NO REASON to use her name except free promotion of their crappy, in horrible taste noise--refuse to honor it with "song". hope she wins a bundle of their ill-gotten gains.

apparently the title of the song is her name...therefore the lyrics would all be associated with her name.
This is a case of incredibly bad taste...not sure if it is legitimate as being actionable, though I can't really say I blame her.
