Omarosa Manigault claims that her deceased fiance’s sister, Judy Falzone, is demanding money from her.
The sibling of the late actor Michael Clarke Duncan claims Omarosa changed his will shortly before he died, and at a time when Michael wasn’t aware of what he was doing.
Falzone hired a private investigator to look into the altered documents that made Omarosa the main beneficiary when Duncan died.
Manigault told TMZ, “I don’t control the estate or the finances and Judy knows it. If you saw all of her emails and texts to me you would see that she is just trying to get money from me, and threatened going to the press if I did not give it to her — and that is a crime!”
In another interview she stated, “I will not be extorted by Michael’s sister. His estranged sister, Judy Falzone, called me right after Michael died asking for money and Michael’s personal items. I told her she had to speak to the Trustee of the estate.”
“She threatened to cut me off from his mother unless she got money immediately from the estate. I could not believe she was trying to leverage access to Michael’s mother to get more money from the will!”
Funds from the estate of Michael Clarke Duncan are controlled by his executors and attorneys; Omarosa doesn’t have access or control over his money nor how his money is dispersed.
An insider said, “The money for his mother was put into a secure trust after his death and is controlled by a trustee. His sister Judy is angry because she can’t touch that. The executors of the will are fairly handling his estate and finances.”
“Michael was estranged from his sister for years, and he didn’t want to leave her any money, but he left her about $100,000 since she was his mother’s caretaker. That’s really generous considering he didn’t have a close relationship with her.”
Omarosa is upset about not being able to communicate with her fiance’s mother, “Michael’s sister will not allow me to see Michael’s mother now or talk to her on the phone because she wants money and it is just devastating and cruel.”
“It is not right for her to cut me off from his mother just because she is displeased about how much money she got in his will. I am truly concerned about his mother’s care and well being. I pray that his mother is being well cared for. Michael was adamant about that.”
