Robbie Robertson’s Children Accuse Widow of Fraud and Financial Elder Abuse

Robbie Robertson's children have sued his widow, Janet Zuccarini, accusing her of financial elder abuse tied to the ownership of a Beverly Hills home.

Prior to the wedding, Zuccarini allegedly had Robertson sign a prenup prepared by her attorneys, as well an amended Tenant In Common agreement that stated, if one of them died, the estate of the deceased would continue to pay one half of the mortgage. A lawyer for Zuccarini, Gabrielle A. Vidal, called the lawsuit “a meritless fiction” and said, “The truth will prevail.” She added: “This is a gross and exploitative attempt by Robbie Robertson ’s children to eviscerate their father’s expressed wishes for his beloved wife Janet.” Robertson’s children are asking the court to cancel the amended TIC agreement while they’re also seeking unspecified damages related to their claims of financial elder abuse and interference with inheritance.
