Estate of Tammy Wynette’s 5th Husband Sues Showtime Over ‘Devious’ TV Show


The estate of Tammy Wynette’s fifth husband, George Richey, filed a lawsuit against Showtime over the miniseries ‘George and Tammy’

According to the court docs, Wynette and Jones’ daughter, Georgette, previously signed a nondisparagement agreement about Richey and his family following a legal battle over her 2011 memoir, The Three of Us: Growing Up with Tammy and George. The kidnapping incident was depicted in the sixth episode of George & Tammy, which starred Jessica Chastain as Wynette, Michael Shannon as Jones and Steve Zahn as Richey. “If Showtime continues streaming the series, Sheila and Tatum will suffer irreparable harm to their reputation, name and standing in the community, and will be impossible to rectify or measure with damages,” the lawsuit argued.
