Beech Island, S.C. – James Brown’s widow said Monday that she was denied access to the home she shared with the singer and their 5-year-old son, claiming the gate was padlocked at the request of a lawyer and an accountant for Brown.
Tomi Rae Hynie said she was at a retreat when her 73-year-old husband died shortly after he was hospitalized in Atlanta.
But when she returned to their home hours after he died, security guards told her that lawyer Buddy Dallas and accountant David Cannon told them she was not allowed inside, she said.
She said she does not own the deed to the home but had a legal right to live there.
