"Showtime Faces Lawsuit Over Portrayal of Tammy Wynette's Husband in TV Series"

The estate of George Richey, Tammy Wynette's late husband, is suing Showtime over their "George and Tammy" miniseries, claiming it portrays Richey as a villain in the love story of Wynette and George Jones. The lawsuit alleges that the depiction violates a non-disparagement agreement signed with the couple's daughter, Georgette Jones, who was a consulting producer for the series. Showtime has stated that they see no plausible basis for the claim, and the lawsuit is seeking to force the withdrawal of the miniseries and restitution in an amount to be determined in a trial.

"Legal Battle: Showtime Sued Over Portrayal of Country Music Legend's Husband in TV Series"

Showtime is being sued over its portrayal of George Richey in the 2022 TV series "George & Tammy," with the estate of Tammy Wynette's late husband claiming the show unfairly depicted him as a villain. The lawsuit alleges that Showtime violated a 2019 settlement agreement by allowing disparaging information about Richey to be featured in the series, despite being informed of the agreement. Showtime has denied the allegations, but the estate's lawyers argue that the network unjustly benefited from the breach of the non-disparagement clause. The series, based on Georgette Jones' memoir, received critical acclaim, but the lawsuit claims that it repeatedly disparages Richey, particularly in the series finale.
