Once John Cahill took over he tried to generate funds for Redd’s estate by attempting to sell his life story, which falls in line under Nevada’s law to market someone’s “right of publicity”, granting permission to market someone’s image and likeness for profit. Unfortunately, Ka Ho was having none of that as she wanted to be the one to make money off of Redd’s legacy.

However, while the estate owns the right to profit from Foxx’s name, image and likeness, it may not own the rights for a “life story”.  It has also been reported that Ka Ho objects to the marketing of Redd’s life story to anyone but her and plans to go to court to stop this from happening.

Hopefully this issue has resolved itself, but let this serve as a lesson that you should always have your affairs in order with legal documentation to avoid the kinds of headaches the Foxx family has encountered since Redd’s passing almost thirty years ago.
