Muhammad Ali 'is a victim of elderly abuse and his wife is only concerned with his money' claims the boxing legend's brother


Muhammad Ali's brother claims that the 71-year-old boxing legend is being gravely mistreated by his wife because according to him, she is more interested in Ali's money than his well-being.

'I think [Lonnie] married my brother just for the money,' Rahman Ali told the National Enquirer of his sister-in-law. 'She talks to him bad. He doesn't even get fed properly. The last time we were together [for a July gala in London honoring Ali], he was so dehydrated. You could tell from his lips.' 

Rahman, who is younger than Muhammad by two years, said his brother is a 'prisoner in his own home.'

'His wife Lonnie and her family are draining him and there's nothing I can do about it,' he said. 'In my opinion. Lonnie's evil.'

Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984 but remained active for many years and made a moving appearance at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games where he lit the flame.

However, he was seen looking particularly thin and frail at the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony where he was helped across the stage by wife Lonnie.

I thought I had seen something on this earlier. I hope it's not true, but even the great ones become vulnerable.
