Rene Explains $2 Million Hand-Out

Celine Dion's manager/husband RENE ANGELIL paid YUN KYEONG KWON SUNG $2
million (GBP1.3 million) for her silence over a sexual harassment suit -
because he didn't want to wreck his wife's pregnancy.

Angelil, who was removed from the 2000 assault and sexual harassment case
in Las Vegas, Nevada, last week (ends02MAY03), admits he was worried the pseudo
scandal would upset his wife.

Angelil has told the LAS VEGAS SUN newspaper he agreed to meet Sung in the
IMPERIAL PALACE hotel after he learned she had a handicapped fan who wanted to
meet him.
