  • On Aug. 11, a GoFundMe campaign launched to support Malcolm-Jamal Warner's widow, Tenisha Warner, as she navigates an estate dispute involving the Warner Family Trust and his mother, Pamela Warner.
  • The dispute stems from a lawsuit Tenisha filed last month, alleging she was wrongfully excluded from the estate and that the actor failed to fulfill their 2022 premarital agreement.

  • Maintaining that the actor was "thoughtful and deliberate in his estate planning," Pamela remains "hopeful that all parties will support the resolution" to allow her granddaughter to benefit without further delay.
