The daughters allege Newman’s Own Foundation has improperly cut its mandated contributions to their own charities from US$400,000 apiece per year to US$200,000 each annually
A new lawsuit has exposed a deep rift between two of Paul Newman’s daughters and the late actor’s charitable foundation funded by profits from the Newman’s Own line of food and drink products.
The daughters say their father, who started Newman’s Own Foundation three years before he died in 2008, allowed the foundation to use his name and likeness – but only on several conditions including giving each of the two daughters’ foundations US$400,000 a year. “This lawsuit does not seek personal compensation for Mr. Newman’s daughters, but simply seeks to hold accountable to the charities they have shortchanged in recent years and would ensure they receive an increased level of support in the future, in line with Mr. Newman’s wishes,” he said.
