'Vicky Cornell Calls Soundgarden Countersuit ‘Salacious, Scurrilous, and Vicious’ ~ MAY 7, 2020 10:40AM ET
“Every single penny of the proceeds generated by the concert were properly allocated and accounted for,” Chris Cornell’s widow says of charity malfeasance accusation
Following the surviving members of Soundgarden’s countersuit against Chris Cornell’s widow Vicky over the singer’s final recordings, Vicky Cornell’s legal team issued a statement decrying the accusations as “salacious, scurrilous, and vicious."
In Soundgarden’s countersuit, members Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd accused Vicky Cornell and Chris’ estate of “fraudulent inducement” for allegedly using revenue intended to be raised for charity for “personal purposes for herself and her family.” The suit alleges the “recipient(s) of the revenue” from the “I Am the Highway: A Tribute to Chris Cornell” concert in January 2019 “have not been identified.”
“It is unfortunate that Chris Cornell’s three former bandmates – who have made millions of dollars from Chris’ hard work, talent and creativity – continue to attack Chris’ legacy, his widow, and his young children by making salacious, scurrilous, and vicious allegations in order to distract from the truth,” Vicky Cornell’s lawyer Marty Singer responded in a statement."
Lil' bit hungry for moar money…?
Loudwire ~ Feb. 2020
"Following a lawsuit filed against Soundgarden by Chris Cornell's widow Vicky, the band has now addressed and denied the claims made against them.
This past December, Vicky Cornell filed a lawsuit against the surviving members of Soundgarden — Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd — and the band's business manager Rit Venerus. The case stated that the band had been "withholding hundreds of thousand of dollars in royalties” from the Cornell family because they wanted the rights to seven unreleased songs that were found in Cornell's possession after he passed away, which Vicky claimed to belong solely to her late husband.
Now, according to documents obtained by Rolling Stone, Soundgarden haverefuted her claimsarguing that the material found was not Cornell's solo work but was for the band, which they had been working on as early as 2015. Their rebuttal cites several email exchanges between all of the band members that reference the audio files and lyrics, as well as live recordings of sessions the band had up until April of 2017 — a month prior to the frontman's death.
They also deny withholding any money from the widow and her family, emphasizing that they aren't being paid at all at this time until "the Partnership, by vote of the Remaining Partners, formally elects to make such a distribution."
“We don’t have possession of our own creative work,” Soundgarden said in a statement."
