Like something rising from the “Pet Sematary,” the latest schism in Joey and Johnny’s notoriously contentious relationship comes years after their respective deaths in 20, both from cancer.įueling the punk pioneers’ lifelong animosity was Linda, who dated Joey in the 1970s before their split found her in the arms of Johnny.Īmong Leigh’s complaints was Ramone - or Cummings-Ramone, as Leigh would prefer her to professionally go in a nod to Johnny’s given surname - branding her California sprawl the “Ramones Ranch,” the papers say.Īssociating the quintessential New York band’s name with the sunshine-soaked Los Angeles property “is trying to deceive Ramones fans and the public into believing that this is the official home of the Ramones,” Leigh claimed in the January and February hearings. “Instead, the parties have allowed their personal egos and their animus for one another to interfere with their joint obligations by failing to communicate, obfuscating information and unreasonably withholding their approvals.” Leigh and Ramone “have an almost sacred mission to be the caretakers for the band’s creative work, to protect their iconic brand and to educate new fans in order to grow their legend,” wrote Donnelly.

Mickey Leigh, the brother of the iconic group’s late frontman, Joey Ramone, hashed out the gripes with Linda Ramone in the least punk way imaginable - a series of closed-door arbitration hearings - earlier this year.īut the battle was laid bare in papers filed Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court asking a judge to affirm arbitrator Bob Donnelly’s rulings. The widow of Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone has been acting like a punk in her own right, cashing in on the groundbreaking band’s rep by slapping their name on her LA ranch, it’s claimed in new court filings. Hey! Ho! Let’s go…to Manhattan Supreme Court.
