Every chance she gets, the widow just takes the opportunity to have the worst public image possible. How easy would it be to write a check every month instead of coming across as vengeful and spiteful. I think she is ticked off about the fact the ex makes ten times more from the estate than the widow.

ReplyDeleteDoesn’t want to pay for Lily’s college tuition or healthcare.
ReplyDeleteIf the ex makes 10x the amount the widow makes from the estate she should be mad. Forget the bias, what if she has the receipts? Then Susan is the greedy one.
ReplyDeleteI don't follow Cornell's work so can someone explain how the first wife makes ten times as much?
ReplyDeleteWasn't his ex the manager of the band at one time? Maybe he trusted her
ReplyDeleteShe got all of the old masters in the divorce I believe. Vicki only gets money from his newer stuff.
ReplyDelete@MD: Susan got half in the divorce.
ReplyDelete@Guesser: Vicky was pushing Chris to finalize the divorce, and that’s why he gave Susan half; just to finalize it on VK’s timetable. Later he realized what he’d done and tried to sue his lawyer. He clearly lost, because that’s what he agreed to in the settlement. Greedy bitch is getting what she deserves. (He never should’ve married her...just given her child support for the daughter that probably isn’t even his.)
Lily was totally left out of the will. The only thing she got was child support, college expenses, and healthcare costs. She took a semester off from school because Vicky and her mother were constantly trolling her on line and she needed to take time off to take care of her mental health issues. All the more reason why Vicky looks like a pig for doing what she’s doing.
Re: Susan making 10x more, this is the first I’ve heard of this so idk if it’s true. IMO, she deserves it. She was his manager and his wife, and was a huge part of his success.
The will makes it sound like she got the other half of his older Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog material upon his death. That is what the fight was over. Because it devalued the value while he was alive that she would have 100% control if he passed. The widow gets his newer material from Audioslave. The recent issue has been the new material that Soundgarden was working on. The widow has possession of his vocal recordings and is holding them hostage from the band - otherwise there would be a new album coming out. Perhaps since it is under the Soundgarden brand, the new album would actually be property of the first wife.
DeleteIt is also obvious the first wife and daughter have the full support of his birth family, his hometown, his real friends, and his band on their side. It is unfortunate he ever got tangled up with the second wife. She has disrespected his legacy, calling him an addict after he was successfully in recovery for decades and clean when he passed. Hopefully, Karma will prevail.
DeleteThis is one of those cases where you hope they're not in heaven looking down on their family.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Brayson.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Manager plus divorce settlement she deserves the money.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that Silver makes much more money off the estate than Icky Vicky, if it's actually true.
ReplyDeleteWould everyone say the same if it was someone who's first wife was the unpopular one? Does everyone think Angie Bowie should be making bank off a long divorced late husband? Of course not. Lily is getting 100% of what Susan got and will continue to get. And Toni Cornell is bullied on a daily basis,even when Chris was alive. @Aquagirl,you did it in your comment. Divorce settlements shouldn't be based on a popularly contest. And what happens if Vicky did make the,payments?
ReplyDelete@Guesser: You seem to be missing the point. Chris was still married to Susan when he met Vicky. And Vicky pushed him to finalize the divorce so that they could get married ASAP(she was already pregnant and was most likely pregnant when they met. Hence the rush.) Chris’ own lawyer tried to get him to slow down the divorce, given the complicated estate, but he was given a deadline by Vicky. I truly doubt that he would’ve given Susan 1/2 of his catalogue if he had taken his time with the divorce and really thought things through; in fact that’s why he later tried to sue his attorney as I mentioned above. I don’t think he thought through what he was actually signing because he was being bullied.
DeleteBut Vicky shouldn’t complain, because I’m sure she’s also the one who convinced him to take Lily out of his will. I don’t know a single father who would do that.
Then perhaps she shouldn't have had him killed off before he revised his will.
ReplyDelete@Shakey: What Susan and Lily are entitled to is from the divorce agreement.
ReplyDeleteSupposedly Chris redid his will before he died, leaving everything to the 3 kids and nothing to Vicky. But that will has ‘disappeared.’
It is all such a mess! I understand the argument that Susan has enough money to cover Lily's expenses, however, if her health and tuition costs were specified as his responsibility, so be it.
ReplyDeleteJust for the surface "PR," let alone the emotional well-being of the child, it blows my mind that a will was actually binding which excluded one of the minor children. For whatever financial parity that might make it make sense, it reads as exclusionary.
All of this is creating tension for teens and a preteen, who would all probably much prefer to commiserate and celebrate their memories of their dad and the unique lives they've had.
Guesser- Toni the daughter is bullied? I thought Toni the grandma was notorious for social media kerfuffles, but I didnt know about daughter having issues. That sucks.
Oh I've heard of sh!tty wills before, whatever people are willing to do to strangers, they'll do much worse to family. Dude was probably just thinking with his d!ck, or wanted the new love of his life to stop nagging him.
ReplyDelete@Vita: Well said. And yes you are right—Toni (aka Yia Yia) the grandmother, is a social media bully. She started as soon as CC died, bullying Eddie Vedder for not attending the funeral. She bullies fans, everyone. She even referred to Lily as a ‘Petrie dish baby’ over & over, because Susan couldn’t get pregnant naturally. She & the rest of the family, have also lived off CC’s money all of these years. Nasty family all around.
ReplyDeleteAnd they bullied Lily so badly that she took time off from school because of them, and Vicky & Yia Yia are saying she ‘dropped out’. She didn’t drop out, she’s taking time to take care of her mental health issues which is quite smart given that her father suffered from mental health issues throughout his life. She’s actually quite a smart girl all-around & very talented too.
Toni Cornell has never been bullied on a daily basis, that’s an outright lie. People have questioned her parenthood, because she looks exactly like the guy that Vicky was dating at the same time as she was dating Chris. (Not to mention that Vicky is a whore who cheated on Chris the weekend of their wedding.) It’s so hard to believe that Chris ever wound up with this woman!
Can’t wait until the band starts speaking out more about why they can’t release the new Soundgarden album. They’ve been trying to get the original vocals for 2 years! Kim Thayil has alluded to it. Once the fans find out what’s really going on, Vicky is over.
I didn't know that Toni Cornell was being bullied! How can they do that to a teen? Otherwise, rich people's problems.
ReplyDeleteBrayson..so true, amongst family can be when everyone lets their ugliest show, it still seems a bit appalling to exclude a fairly young (at the time it was written) child. Im thinking you nailed the explanation.
ReplyDeleteAquagirl-- thanks, and thanks for the details...what a sloppy mess! I never knew any of that, eesh, sad.
