Gladys Knight just proved that blood AIN’T always thicker than water — because she just sued her son to stop using her name and face in the restaurant business. And she wants ANYTHING with her name and or image on it taken down immediately.
Earlier this year, we reported that Gladys’ son, Shanga Hankerson was arrested for allegedly misappropriating a million bucks from the Gladys Knight/Ron Winans Chicken & Waffles restaurants in Atlanta.
Well, Ms. Gladys wants no parts of this mess and she is demanding that the person that her son now has running the restaurants instantly remove her name from all signs and promotions for the chicken and waffle spots! And in addition to seeking monetary compensation and an injunction to cease and desist, Ms. Gladys also wants ALL her memorabilia inside the restaurant returned as soon as possible.
She refuses to take part in these shenanigans.
