Spears' attorney has requested that her father provide a slew of
documents regarding management company Tri Star and the pop star's
recent Hawaii trip, among other issues.

Britney Spears in 2016
Britney Spears' attorney is planning to grill her father over how
much money he and her business managers reaped from the pop star's
estate, and he's seeking extensive documentation about other actions
during the conservatorship, according to documents obtained by BuzzFeed
News Tuesday.
The Oct. 28 document, made public Tuesday, formally signed Britney Spears onto the petition to terminate the conservatorship
that was previously filed by her father, Jamie Spears. In it, Britney
Spears' attorney Mathew Rosengart notes that his team is still waiting
for Jamie Spears to respond to requests for documents and other
potential evidence and also to sit down for a deposition as they investigate his actions during the legal arrangement that gave him control over his daughter's life and finances.
Rosengart
has said that if they uncover evidence that Jamie Spears
misappropriated his daughter’s money or engaged in any other misconduct,
Britney Spears will sue.
According to the documents, Rosengart has asked Jamie Spears to provide documents regarding nearly 40 issues, including the following:
All
communications between Jamie and any representative of Britney Spears'
former business management company Tri Star Sports & Entertainment
Group, including Lou Taylor and Robin Greenhill
All communications, including texts and instant messages, with "security services and/or guards" who have worked at Spears' home
All communications, including texts and instant messages, with individuals who have been contracted to work at Spears' home
All communications, including texts and instant messages, with Spears' current or past physicians, therapists, or other doctors
All communications, including texts and instant messages, regarding Spears' medications
All
communications, including texts and instant messages, relating to
Spears' "stays at non-hospital, residential medical facilities,
including rehabilitation facilities"
All lease or rental agreements paid for by Spears' estate
All
communications, including texts and instant messages, relating to the
monthly allowance that Jamie Spears has allowed to Britney Spears from
her estate
All
documents and communications regarding "the electronic surveillance,
monitoring, cloning, or recording of the activity of" Britney Spears'
personal phone, "including but not limited to the surveillance,
monitoring, cloning, icloud mirroring, or recording of calls, e-mails,
text messages, internet browser use or history, and social media use or
direct messages on social media"
All documents and
communications regarding "any recording or listening device" in Spears'
home or bedroom, the decision to place any such device, and "the records
of any such recordings"
The request for documents was sent in late August. Shortly after, on Sept. 7, Jamie Spears filed the petition to terminate the conservatorship.
In
the Oct. 28 filing, Rosengart also indicates that he plans to ask Jamie
Spears about the money he and any entity he owns have received from his
daughter's estate since the conservatorship's creation in early 2008,
as well as payments made from her estate to management company Tri Star,
its employees, and others "but for the benefit of [Jamie Spears]" and
payments made "for the benefit of anyone who works or worked" for Tri
Star.
Rosengart first sought to depose Jamie Spears on Oct. 20,
according to the documents, but it appears that has not yet happened.
It's unclear whether a new date has been set. Jamie Spears' attorney
Alex Weingarten did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request
for comment.
In a status report filed with the court Monday,
Weingarten said his client "has nothing to hide regarding his
administration of Britney's estate" and will "unconditionally cooperate
in transferring all files" to Rosengart "without delay."
"A
substantial portion of that transfer has already been accomplished and the process will continue
with alacrity until complete," he wrote. "The time for innuendo, misrepresentations and impudent gossip is
over. It does not serve the judicial system and most importantly, it is toxic to Britney and her
family. Jamie is committed to full and complete transparency over all of it."
On Sept. 29, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny suspended Jamie Spears
as conservator of his daughter's estate, freeing her from the control
he held over her life for more than 13 years. The court is expected to
terminate Spears’ conservatorship altogether at a hearing on Nov. 12.
"Ms.
Spears has made her wishes known about ending the conservatorship she
has endured for so long and she has pleaded with this Court to 'let her
have her life back,' without an evaluation, recently attending two Court
hearings and asking this Court directly to end the conservatorship,"
Rosengart writes in the newly released filing. "It is respectfully
submitted—with the consent of all parties—that the time has come."
ORLAND PARK, Illinois - A suburban woman has been charged with ripping off an elderly couple she was supposed to be helping.
Orland Park Police said that Shantae White, 35, of Calumet City, had worked for several months for the couple.
During that time, police said, she forged several checks from their
bank account. Detectives said she also made numerous online purchases
using their debit card.
In total, police said she stole more than $4,000.
White is charged with forgery and was in court in Bridgeview on Wednesday, where she was issued a $25,000 bond.
Community And Housing Leaders Come To The Defense Of Wanda Clark; Call Efforts To Remove Her From Her Home ‘Elder Abuse’
by Antonio Harvey
OAK PARK – The realities of the intense gentrification of the city of
Sacramento’s oldest neighborhood could effectively put a 71-year-old
grandmother and janitorial worker out on the streets.
Wanda Clark’s home in south Oak Park is in court-appointed
receivership because of housing code violations and the dwelling located
right off 14th Avenue can be auctioned off after Nov. 3, if the
proceedings are not halted.
“The city has been constantly penalizing me and at this point they
decided they are tired of dealing with me,” Clark said before an Oct. 13
news conference in front of the house.
“Now they would like to tear my home down and use all my equity in my
home. As we speak, at the end of their project I will have nothing, no
home, no money, and I will be put on the streets.”
Currently, the three-bedroom, one-bath dwelling has been deemed
unlivable by the City. Interior damage, disconnected power, and severe
mold growth has made it uninhabitable and dangerous to enter.
Clark has been living with her sister across the street from the home
that had a for sale sign in front of it that has since been removed as
of Oct. 26. Since 1995, Clark says she has never missed a mortgage
payment.
In an Oct. 25 email, Clark was notified by the receiver’s attorney of
the Kirk Rimmer Law Office, located in Old Sacramento, that she would
need a minimum of $175,000 to keep the property. The estimated cost
would cover code violations and attorney fees. The amount owed on the
house, including attorney fees, is $110,000, which brings the total
amount to $285,000.
As the undesirable situation worsens, Clark’s property could easily
fall into the hands of real estate developers that could finance a
luxurious home or two right off 14th Avenue near Highway 99.
The process would fall in line with all the other gentrification
activities that have taken place in the historic neighborhood —
Sacramento’s first suburb — over the last 20 years.
At the news conference, Clark’s sister Terri Austin explained the
bottom line of the matter to supporters, friends, family and community
activists that attended the gathering in an effort to salvage the house.
“It’s not like that receivership is set to help anyone. They already
told her they can put two housing units on the property,” Austin said.
“It’s all (gentrification). I understand (gentrification) is fine but if
we’ve been taking care of our homes, we’ve been taking care of
ourselves, raising our children here, and have been law-abiding
citizens; well, it’s time for someone to step up and help our elderly.
Enough is enough. Back up.”
Under California law, a receiver is an individual or representative
appointed to “take over control and management of property that is the
subject of ligation” and “ultimately to dispose of it in accordance with
the court’s final judgment,” according to the California Business Law
Practitioner’s Spring 2010 newsletter.
Many dormant lots, vacant buildings, and homes built in Oak Park
between the 1920s and 1960s that were once partly owned by African
Americans have been swallowed by real-estate investment opportunities.
Clark, who is a custodian for the County of Sacramento, could be the
next victim of gentrification in Oak Park and new city and state zoning
ordinances created to build sufficient housing.
Leah Miller, the president and chief executive officer for Habitat
for Humanity of Greater Sacramento, described the system as “elder
abuse,” which she says is compounded by “archaic and punitive city
policies intended for revenue generation.”
“They have the consequence of displacement of senior homeowners,
which adds to the gentrification of communities like right here in Oak
Park,” Miller said. “It’s not just here in Sacramento. Receivership is a
legalized form of municipal, enforced gentrification. It occurs all
over the country.”
Habitat for Humanity provides affordable home ownership opportunities
to low-income, hardworking families, as well as provides affordable
critical repairs and preservation opportunities to vulnerable elderly
and Veteran homeowners to help them stay in their homes and age with
dignity.
According to the Urban Displacement Project (UDP), a research and
action initiative of the University of California Berkeley and the
University of Toronto, gentrification is “a process of neighborhood
change that includes economic change in a historically disinvested
neighborhood.”
Real estate investment and new higher-income individuals moving in
from cities such as San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles also
promotes “changes in the education level or racial make-up of
residents,” UDP stated.
The National Community Reinvestment Coalition’s (NCRC) 2019 report on
gentrification and cultural displacement identified a “small group of
boomtowns” that have experienced large-scale gentrification and notable
displacement of longtime minority communities.
Between 2013 and 2017, the NCRC identified 954 neighborhoods with
signs of gentrification. The studies were concentrated in “intensely
gentrifying metro areas,” where a large percentage of low-income and
low-home value neighborhoods were eligible for gentrification.
Nationally, half of all of the gentrifying neighborhoods were in 20
cities. San Francisco-Oakland, San Jose, San Diego, Los Angeles, and
Sacramento were listed as five of the top 20 cities for intensity of
gentrification in NCRC’s June 2020 report.
The current movement in Oak Park, an area southeast of downtown, is
in full swing. An increase in the economic value in homes, an invasion
of businesses owned by non-Black people, and a growing rate of
college-educated residents are changing the dynamics of the
neighborhood.
Rashid Sidqe & Wanda Clark
Rashid Sidqe, executive director of the Sacramento-based non-profit
organization Lift Up Love Always (LULA), said the proceedings against
Clark are fraudulent and receivership is used as a front.
“Nobody wants to talk about it, but yes, it’s all about
gentrification,” Sidqe told The OBSERVER. “The receivership is a scam
and our elders are getting bullied. Another couple from the Arden Area
is getting bullied by the same receivership group.”
Clark’s issue, Sidqe said, started 10 years ago when, unbeknownst to
her, she hired an unlicensed contractor to make additions to the home.
She wanted to build a section above the garage to provide more space for
her children and grandchildren.
Through a home equity loan, Clark paid more than $35,000 for the work
to be performed but the person never completed the job and later passed
away, leaving the northside of the home blighted and in disarray.
That’s when the fines from the city began flowing in just about every other month and instantly put Clark in debt.
Peter Lemos, the city’s code compliance chief said in a written
statement that a staff worked with the property owner to bring it back
up to standard, “waiving thousands of dollars in fees and helping
multiple times throughout the process.”
Lemos also inferred that the house became “a location for illegal activity,” he wrote.
“At this phase, the court has ruled that the house should be put into
receivership. Nevertheless, the city remains committed to continuing
its work to help secure a positive outcome for the property owner,”
Lemos stated.
The OBSERVER reached out to the City’s Housing Compliance Division to elaborate on the issue, however, calls were not returned.
Clark did admit that in the beginning she was told that she would
obtain help to repair the home. But somewhere down the line she was told
to stop making mortgage payments on the property.
“The receivership started off with saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to solve
your problem. We’re going to come out and fix your home,’” Clark said.
“But no, instead they would like to tear my home down. They decided that
I can’t handle my affairs.”
Clark’s woes arrive at a time when Gov. Gavin Newsom just signed
Senate Bill (SB) 9, the California Housing Opportunity and More
Efficiency (HOME) Act.
Authored by California State Senate President pro Tempore Toni G.
Atkins (D-San Diego), SB 9 will allow property owners to split a
single-family lot into two lots and place up to two units on each newly
created lot.
A total of four dwellings could legally end up on properties that
were limited to single-family houses. Clark’s property would be an ideal
location to implement such lots or four-plex units.
“SB 9 will open up opportunities for homeowners to help ease our
state’s housing shortage, while still protecting tenants from
displacement,” Atkins stated, after Newsom signed the legislation
following the Gubernatorial Recall Election. “And it will help our
communities welcome new families to the neighborhood and enable more
folks to set foot on the path to buying their first home.”
In January 2021, the city of Sacramento approved a preliminary plan
eliminating requirements that only allow single-family homes on
properties in traditional neighborhoods, too. Four homes in the form of
duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, could be built on one lot. The City
Council is expected to finalize the plan at the end of the year or
early 2022.
The plan is designed to offer lower-cost housing and inclusion in
middle- to upper-class neighborhoods. Overall, Sacramento and the state
is in the midst of a severe shortage of affordable housing and city and
state officials believe that a change in zoning will uproot the problem.
Sidqe supports the city’s efforts to create affordable housing. But
SB 9 and the city of Sacramento gives receivers additional motivation to
prey on distressed properties, he said.
“This is really a law that is going to go against poor people or
elderly folks who are having monetary issues to keep their properties up
to code,” Sidqe said. “The (Clark’s house) is a cheap land grab for the
city. The city is in cahoots with the receiver. Gentrification is about
investment and receivers making money.”
Basically already homeless, Wanda Clark could officially lose her
home by Nov. 3. Under the circumstances, she has little time to raise
$175,000 to give to the receiver.
Betty Williams, Sacramento NAACP President
Betty Williams, the president of the Sacramento branch of the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), said
Clark’s issue is out of the city’s hands but she has been in contact
with Sacramento City Manager Howard Chan to see what could be done next.
“The tricky part is that (the matter) has left the city and is now in
the courts,” Williams said. “Nov. 3 is a court date. Now it goes in
front of a judge. At this point, people must understand, the city
manager cannot stop the court date unless the city attorneys are
involved. If the city cannot stop the Nov. 3 date we will have to go
into that court to advocate for her.”
The Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman recently presented its Excellent Advocate Award to Judge Dixie Park of Canton.
The
agency says Park ensures that people served by Stark County’s probate
court have a voice for their rights, independence, and dignity. She also
ensures that guardians in her county are held to high ethical
standards.
Ohio’s Office of the State
Long-Term Care Ombudsman advocates for people receiving home care,
assisted living, and nursing home care. The office presents the
Excellent Advocate Award to those who demonstrate remarkable character
in protecting the rights of long-term care consumers through advocacy,
service, collaboration, process improvement, or other accomplishments.
Park
was presented the award and special commendation from Ohio Gov. Mike
DeWine by retired State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Beverley Laubert and
Regional Ombudsman Program Director Sam McCoy during a special meeting
on Oct. 21 in Canton.
LONGS, S.C. (WBTW) — Horry County police have arrested a man they say
neglected a person he was the caregiver for, causing them to die.
On December 23, 2020, an autopsy revealed that a person died from
clinical neglect and extensive Psoriaform rash ulcerations, according to
arrest warrants obtained by News13.
During the time of death, and for 10 months before the
death, David Constantine was serving as the victim’s caregiver,
according to the arrest warrant.
The autopsy also showed “the wounds on the victim and condition of
the body indicate a long painful suffering before death,” according to
the warrant.
Because Constantine did not seek medical help for the victim, police say his lack of actions resulted in their death.
U.S. Representatives Darren Soto, Gus
Bilirakis, Charlie Crist, Debbie Dingell, and Brian Fitzpatrick
introduced bipartisan legislation that supports the approximately 1.3
million adults, mostly seniors and people with disabilities, who are
currently under the care of guardians by enacting protections from the
risks of abuse or neglect. The Guardianship Accountability Act of 2021 implements
further oversight and enacts data collection measures to hold guardians
accountable in response to reports indicating an increasing number of
fraud cases and financial exploitation from guardians towards vulnerable
populations.
“Congress must act to protect our
most vulnerable community members and ensure that they receive the
support they deserve,” said Congressman Darren Soto. “Our
Central Florida community has experienced firsthand how inadequate
protections against bad actors can lead to tragedy. In 2019, abuse by a
former guardian led to the horrible, preventable death of one of our
seniors. We must pass this bipartisan legislation to strengthen
safeguards against abuse and address the failings of our nation’s
guardianship system.”
“It is said that the strength of a
society can be judged based upon how it treats its most vulnerable
populations. We’ve seen from recent examples in the news, and alarming
rates of elder abuse throughout Pasco and Pinellas counties, that
guardianship is an area where we can and must do better to protect
seniors,” said Congressman Gus Bilirakis. “Our bill will provide
additional resources, strengthen protections, and improve
intergovernmental coordination to achieve this paramount objective.”
“Toxic guardianships, like that of entrapped Britney Spears, are
sadly prevalent across Florida and the country. Lack of data and
accountability is one of the biggest hindrances in our fight to protect
those in the guardianship system. As the son to two senior parents, I
can’t fathom either of them being caught in these horrific
circumstances,” said Congressman Charlie Crist. “That’s why I’m proud to
co-introduce this legislation with Rep. Soto
that directs the Elder Justice Coordinating Council to collect and
publish data on guardianships and conservatorships. It also directs the
Department of Health and Human Services to provide grants to states for
guardianship oversight programs and establishes a federal guardianship
resource center — all towards the goal of eliminating guardianship fraud
abuse.”
The Guardianship Accountability Act of 2021 would help ensure
individuals under the care of guardians are not at risk of abuse or
neglect by expanding the availability of federal demonstration grants to
be used for developing state guardianship databases to assist with the
collection of information on guardians, training of court visitors, and
sharing of background check and other information with appropriate
entities. It would also establish a National Resource Center on
Guardianship, which would be tasked with:
Collecting and publishing information relevant to guardianship for
use by guardians, individuals subject to guardianship, as well as
courts, states, local governments, and community organizations;
Publishing model legislation and best practices developed pursuant to the Elder Abuse Prevention and Prosecution Act;
Compiling and publishing training materials for guardians;
Sharing research related to guardianship; and
Maintaining a database on state laws regarding guardianship and the
use of less restrictive alternatives, and the restoration of rights.
“Safeguarding our nation’s seniors from abuse and exploitation must
be a priority, and too often our current guardianship system fails to
protect older Americans,” said Congresswoman Debbie Dingell. “The
Guardianship Accountability Act will put in place commonsense
protections to address these deficiencies, and I am thankful for the
bipartisan efforts on this issue.”
“We must protect seniors and individuals with disabilities from
exploitative bad actors who seek to take advantage of vulnerable groups
through guardianships. Especially during these uncertain times, it is
critical that we put in place needed safeguards at the state and local
level to protect our seniors and individuals with disabilities from any
potential injustice they may incur,” said Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick.
“I am proud to introduce the bipartisan Guardianship Accountability
Act, which provides additional resources to assist states and localities
in cracking down on those who seek to harm our society’s most
vulnerable. This bill is a first step to proactively fixing the
shortcomings of our broken guardianship system.”
A companion bill has been filed in the Senate by Senators Bob Casey and Susan Collins.
For the second time, the Iowa
Supreme Court has suspended the license of a Cedar Rapids attorney,
stating that it would have leveled a more severe penalty against him in
2017 had it known more about his role in a scheme that deprived
investors of $700,000.
Court records indicate that from 2006 to 2014, Cedar Rapids lawyer
Bruce Willey was the attorney for a Linn County developer and
entrepreneur, David A. Wild. As Wild’s attorney, Willey had created 20
or more business entities for Wild and, according to the commission, had
performed somewhere between $20,000 and $100,000 worth of legal work
for Wild.
Rather than pay Willey for those services, Wild agreed to give Willey
a financial stake in some of those businesses, which would then provide
loans to Willey.
Together, Wild and Willey formed Catalyst Resource Group to solicit
financing for projects Wild was interested in exploring. Catalyst then
entered into an agreement with a company called Ramis Limited, based in
London, England. Court records indicate the plan called for Catalyst to
give money to Ramis in return for Ramis pledging high-value assets, such
as U.S. Treasury bills, to Catalyst, which could then use them as
collateral for loans worth millions of dollars.
According to the commission, this method of raising venture capital is prohibited in the United States.
Under the agreement with Ramis, Catalyst claimed it had unrestricted
cash in hand and that Wild and Willey were accredited investors. The
deal appeared to call for Catalyst to invest up to $700,000 with Ramis,
which would then return $100 million to $500 million to Catalyst, the
commission stated, calling the arrangement a “high-risk foreign scheme.”
Neither Wild nor Willey “could explain how the planned investment
would work in a manner understandable to the members of the panel,” the
commission later found. “It was evident that neither of them truly
understood what they were doing.”
To raise the necessary money, Willey allegedly contacted Laurus
Technologies of Illinois, which agreed to loan Catalyst $500,000, and a
client of his, Midwest SN Investors, which agreed to loan Catalyst
$200,000. Willey, according to the commission, failed to inform Midwest
he owned a one-half interest in Catalyst.
Neither Laurus nor Midwest was repaid any of the money loaned to
Catalyst. Court records show Laurus filed suit against Wild and
eventually obtained a judgment against him for approximately $700,000
for the principal amount of the loan, interest, and attorney fees. Wild
eventually sued Willey, alleging malpractice by conflict of interest,
breach of fiduciary duty and fraudulent misrepresentation, although the
case was later dismissed.
The commission found that Willey had a conflict of interest in his
dealings with Midwest and that he was “not only untruthful” in what he
disclosed to the company, he failed to inform Midwest he would receive
directly $50,000 of the total money being borrowed by Catalyst. The panel recommended a 30-day license suspension.
In 2017, Willey’s license was suspended for 60 days due to other
alleged ethical violations tied to his representation of Wild. In that
matter, Willey had allegedly arranged for a client to loan money to
another of his clients, Synergy Projects. The client who loaned the
money said Willey never told him Synergy and its principal owner, Wild,
were clients of his.
After the Iowa Supreme Court Attorney Disciplinary Board examined
Willey’s conduct in the Catalyst matter, Willey was accused of using
money from investors to pay off credit card debt and failing to inform
his clients of conflicts of interest.
Willey argued that if he had violated any ethics rules, the court was
limited to ordering, at most, a public reprimand because the conduct at
issue had occurred before the 2017 suspension of his license.
The board maintained that had the court been aware in 2017 of
Willey’s conduct in the Catalyst matter, it likely would have suspended
his license for more than 60 days.
“Willey suggests an attorney cannot receive an enhanced sanction for
conduct occurring prior to a previous disciplinary action,” the Iowa
Supreme Court stated in its recent review of the Catalyst matter.
“Willey’s willingness to engage his clients in questionable investments —
without disclosing the essential terms of the transactions to allow his
clients to make an informed decision — was apparently not a one-time
aberration. Had we known of Willey’s repeated conduct, we likely would
have imposed a stricter sanction.”
The court agreed with the commission’s recommendation and suspended Willey’s license for 30 days.
LOS
ANGELES (CNS) - Carol Burnett and her husband have nominated the same
woman who serves as Britney Spears' personal conservator to be the
temporary personal guardian of the comedian's teenage grandson -- whose
mother allegedly has a history of drug abuse -- but a judge today
delayed ruling on the petition until next week.
Attorney Gabrielle A. Vidal, on behalf of Burnett and the 88-year-old
entertainer's spouse, Brian Miller, told Los Angeles Superior Court
Judge Deborah L. Christian that Jodi Montgomery began serving as case
manager for 15-year-old Dylan Hamilton-West in May, but that they would
now like her to take over the temporary guardianship role in which they
have served since they were first appointed on Sept. 1, 2020.
"Miss Montgomery assists (Dylan) with setting up his medical
appointments and coordinates them with his school to ensure his absence
is excused," Vidal wrote in the Burnett-Miller petition.
"She has conferred with his therapist and dentist. She also confers
with (Dylan's) school advisers and dean about his education as well as
his time away from the (Ojai) boarding school."
Lawyer Stefanie M. Bennett, appointed by the judge to represent
Dylan's interests, said she would have a report prepared with her
thoughts for the judge by the Nov. 8 hearing. The Burnett-Miller
temporary guardianship officially expires Nov. 30, but will end sooner
if Montgomery's appointment is approved before then.
Burnett did not take part in Monday's hearing because she was on
location with another obligation, according to Vidal, but Miller
appeared virtually with several other people, including Dylan's mother,
Erin Hamilton, father, Tony West, and Montgomery.
Montgomery became a part of Spears' conservatorship team in September
2019 after having previously served as her care manager. The Spears
conservatorship could end as soon as Nov. 12.
Montgomery has communicated with Dylan's parents and has helped
facilitate communications between all of the teen's family members,
according to Vidal's court papers.
In their original petition filed in August 2020, Burnett and Miller
stated that throughout her adult life, and since Dylan's birth, Hamilton
has suffered from severe substance abuse and addiction issues and that
in the past two decades, she has been in and out of rehabilitation
centers while being institutionalized a total of eight times for a
minimum of 30 days each time.
Hamilton told the judge today that her attorney tried to appear
virtually to voice objections on her behalf, but that he was
unsuccessful. She said she believed that the other attorneys have known
of her concerns for months.
"I don't understand, I'm confused," Hamilton said.
The judge said she had not seen any objections and that any that are filed will be heard Nov. 8.
Hamilton, a 53-year-old singer, is one of Burnett's three daughters
from her marriage to television producer Joe Hamilton. Their oldest
daughter, Carrie, died of cancer in 2002.
In July 2020, Hamilton sent Dylan and her adult son multiple text
messages threatening suicide, according to the original petition, which
says she was subsequently placed by the Los Angeles Police Department on
a hold for "suicidality and drug use" before being released late that
same month.
