Glen Campbell Sued Over Upcoming Documentary Movie; Alzheimers Patients Legal Rights Questioned In Suit
After disclosing that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, country/pop singer-songwriter and television star Glen Campbell has allowed the public into his life to witness his struggles and path along the way. Now he's being sued and his diagnosis is at the center of the dispute.
The Record Company - a business that acts as a production house - is suing Campbell and his partners, alleging that the star wasn't of sound mind when he signed contracts.
The Record Company is suing Campbell and Glen Campbell Enterprises for breach of contract, claiming Campbell is excluding it from any credit, ownership and revenue for the documentary. The company is also claiming breach of fiduciary duty and demanding an accounting of Campbell's earnings from the film.
The film at the center of the lawsuit, "Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me" opens October 24.
