One of Jerry Lewis’ children is speaking out about being cut out of his father’s will after the comedy legend passed away over the summer. “It was putting the knife in and turning it,” Anthony Lewis told Inside Edition. After Jerry Lewis died, news spread that all five of his surviving sons would be disinherited. They would not be left a penny of his estimated $50 million estate. “I was not surprised dad cut me out, but it shocked me that he cut out his grandkids,” Anthony said.



He left his estate to his second wife and adopted child

I can't watch the video right now but wonder if Jerry had a clause making it hard for survivors to sue. I'd contest it if it were me.

Hmmm...Jerry kids or what in their sixties, they had to have known that their dad was never going to leave them and their children a dime...I wonder what the sons did to make their father cut them out of the will.

Can't watch the video atm. Can anyone give me some background on why he did this?

Cliffs (according to his son in the clip) : 1. Jerry was an abusive dad (emotionally and physically.)

2. Jerry was a POS husband to first wife/mother of his sons.

3. One son had to sue him to get funds for Wife #1 (or she would have been homeless.) That action pissed Jerry off, hence cutting all of his kids from his first marriage out of his will.

4. Son in the clip (and 2 others) weren't invited to Jerry's funeral. The two that were invited were treated like sh!t.

5. Jerry left his entire estate to his current wife and their adopted daughter. He cut out his grandkids too. His estate is estimated to be worth 50 million.

If you know the back story of Lewis you won't be surprised. People can do as they please with their money. I wonder if JL is burning in Hell?

They sided with the mother married to JL for 38 years when she sued JL! Lewis was an evil phucker. Read the bio!

A testator is free to disinherit their children and it's nothing the children can do if it expressly states that was his intent. The only way to sue would be to allege and prove undue influence was the reason for the exclusion which might be difficult to prove.

Jerry held a grudge against his sons for suing him on behalf of their mother who was left basically penniless after the divorce.



"But over the decades, the family became estranged. Anthony even ended up filing a lawsuit against his father on behalf of his mom who had been married to the Nutty Professor star for 38 years.

“Do I let my mother go on the streets or do I sue my father?” Anthony said of the suit.

The result for Anthony was disinheritance. After their father's death, three of his five brothers were kept from the funeral.

He says he and his brothers Gary and Ron were not invited to the funeral. However, his brothers Scott and Chris were.

But even the brothers who got invited to the funeral where shut out of the will."

This happened to an ex of mine. His grandfather cut everyone out but his mom. The siblings all sued, she ended up settling because it dragged out and was cheaper. Maybe they wouldn't win or maybe she was just settle to get them to go away.

Jerry got a new wife and adopted daughter and left the money to them instead.

his previous wife of 38 years, and the sons from that marriage, were all disinherited.

most of the sons weren't even invited to the funeral.

the son in the video claims Jerry was emotionally abusive and beat him with a belt twice. The son sued Jerry on behalf of his mother at some point.

Okay but if you're my child and Try to sue me for my own money then you're not getting jack from me. True, he was wrong for leaving his first wife penniless but they couldn't possibly think they would still inherit money? Are you freaking kidding me?

Now what happened was they thought they would get money if he left some to his grandkids. I would have done he same thing he done. Disinherit all of them for trying to bully my money. All of them are idiots but worst of all they're broke! Lmao
