Malcolm-Jamal Warner's Widow Claims His Mom Sold Off L.A. Mansion Amid Family Feud
TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Tenisha Warner, widow of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, accuses Malcolm's mother, Pamela Warner, of selling the family home without intending to exclude Tenisha and their daughter MacKenzie from the family trust.
- Tenisha claims the California home, sold for $1.6 million in May 2026, was where MacKenzie created important memories with her father and was meant to be left to her and Tenisha.
- She disputes Pamela's assertion that Tenisha refused to settle the estate dispute, stating she only resisted unfair pressure, and argues that the Georgia home offered as compensation, with a $700K mortgage, is insufficient.
- Tenisha alleges Pamela stopped using Malcolm's estate funds for her monthly bills and emphasizes she paused her career to care for MacKenzie and support Malcolm, insisting Malcolm intended to provide for her.
- The estate conflict escalated after Tenisha sued to add MacKenzie to the trust, leading Pamela to settle with MacKenzie's court-appointed guardian, securing a multi-million dollar provision for the child.
