Ramones Netflix Film Starring Pete Davidson in Doubt As Johnny Ramone’s Estate Wins Latest Legal Round
A Netflix film adapted from the book 'I Slept With Joey Ramone' is in doubt after Johnny Ramone's estate won its latest legal round.
Frey previously managed Cheap Trick for many years but split acrimoniously with the band in 2013 — taking founding drummer Bun E. Carlos with him, as the two sued the three other bandmembers for hundreds of thousands of dollars in allegedly unpaid touring fees and other expenses. Earlier this year, Cummings-Ramone filed a lawsuit against Frey and Leigh (aka Mitchel Hyman), Joey Ramone’s brother, that claimed he “covertly developed an unapproved and unauthorized Ramones-based biopic” without her permission. After she filed in the suit in January, Frey and Leigh fired back with a countersuit in March stating that she was trying to “install herself as the Queen of the Ramones” and insisted the biopic was not a band tell-all, but rather an adaptation of a family memoir.
