The Brief

  • Taylor Ledward filed a legal response to her brothers' lawsuit.
  • She claims the lawsuit is a public-relations stunt to smear her.
  • She has made disbursements to Chadwick's parents and nephews.

Taylor Simone Ledward, Chadwick Boseman's widow, has responded to her brothers' legal challenge, calling their lawsuit a 'public-relations stunt' aimed at damaging her reputation.

Derrick and Kevin Boseman recently sought to have Ledward removed as administrator of Boseman's estate and replace her with attorney Jason Rubin.

Ledward maintains she has fulfilled her duties as administrator, citing her disbursements to Boseman's parents, Carolyn and Leroy, since his death.

She also stated she provided approximately $300,000 from her own funds to care for Derrick's children, Chadwick's nephews, as she believed it was in line with Boseman's wishes.

Ledward is seeking to remain in her role as administrator and has expressed concerns about Rubin's appointment, citing 'serious allegations' against him in other cases.

She acknowledges the allegations may not be true but argues they should be investigated before Rubin is appointed, and she is prepared to take the matter to court.
