Brian Wilson’s ex-wife Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford is suing the Beach Boys founder following his $50 million Universal Music Publishing Group deal
Wilson-Rutherford claims in her legal filings that she was paid about $11 million from the writer’s share, but alleges she’s owed another $6.7 million from the termination rights.
Wilson-Rutherford and Wilson were married from 1964 to 1978, and after their divorce, she took a 50 percent ownership over Wilson’s songwriting royalties. Wilson’s legal counsel doesn’t dispute her rights to the writer’s share but maintains that because Wilson couldn’t reclaim his copyrights until over 30 years after their divorce was finalized, Wilson-Rutherford is not entitled to money from the reversion deal.
Still, while maintaining she wasn’t owed any money from the reversion deal, by December Wilson’s counsel offered Wilson-Rutherford about $3.3 million “to tie off all issues” between the ex-couple. By February, her suit was filed claiming she was owed twice as much. “This is a business dispute between Brian and his ex-wife over who owns ‘copyright termination interests’ in songs Brian wrote or helped write during their marriage,” Wilson’s attorneys said in a statement to. “With this filing, we are simply asking that the dispute be resolved in federal court, where we think it should be. We will have no further comment on this matter, and let the filings speak for themselves.
