Kendu Demanding More $$ From Mary, Now Claims She Owes Him A Very Hefty Salary Check
For months now, Mary J. Blige has fought to move on with her life despite her nasty divorce battle with her estranged ex-husband, Kendu Isaacs. After being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it seemed Mary’s life was finally moving in the right direction. But, unfortunately, Kendu is back again to make things difficult. According to Bossip, he has made more claims against his soon-to-be ex-wife, with the hope walking away with more money.
More Accusations:
It has been reported that Kendu ain’t happy about Mary’s new music, her latest appearances, and her tour. Apparently, he believes she’s profiting off their divorce. For that particular reason, Kendu wants more money. However, he isn’t stopping there. He’s also accused Mary of withholding his pay from the time he worked as her personal manager for her previous King & Queen of Hearts tour. For his work on that tour, he’s now demanding another $345,000.
Defamation Or Nah?:
Kendu also insists Mary has been using interviews as an opportunity to defame and criticize him. He’s actually blaming Mary’s criticism for his inability to find another job, despite his “aggressive efforts” to do so, according to the publication:
“In fact, petitioner has financially benefitted from this divorce because she used it as a platform to promote her new music, album, and tour,” Kendu wrote in court papers, which were obtained by the publication. “Since the divorce was initiated, she has released at least two songs that have been dubbed her ‘divorce’ songs. The evidence will show that petitioner reaped a substantial profit from this divorce.”
With the latest filing, Isaacs is still arguing that he should be entitled to half of Mary’s earnings for work she did throughout their marriage. He’s reportedly demanding “half of her royalties, residuals, and commissions that Mary earned from her music, film, and TV work during their nearly 13-year marriage.”
Kendu’s latest filing follows reports about his steep demands for spousal support. As expected, a judge denied his initial request for more than $100,000 a month in temporary spousal support. On the flip side, Mary is still arguing that the $30,000 a month he currently receives is still too much. So, it looks like these two will be going back and forth to court for months to come, until their divorce proceedings are finalized.And the unfortunate saga continues…
