Diminutive GARY COLEMAN‘s ex-wife and ex-GF duke it out inc court for whatever scrap they can muster of the “Diff’rent Strokes” star's estate.
As The ENQUIRER reported previously Copeman died at age 42 in May, 2010 after suffering a brain hemorrhage following a fall at his home in Utah.
His ex-wife, Shannon Price, who divorced the ailing thesp in 2008, claimed she’s entitled to his estate but is now facing a challenge from his former girlfriend Anna Gray.
Gray managed Coleman's affairs for several years and says she was to have been named as Coleman’s beneficiary and executor of the dwindling estate in 2005.
Their legal war case went to court in Utah and Gary’s ex-wife Shannon testified that she reunited with Coleman after their divorce, but kept their rekindled relationship out of the news media, "We decided that we couldn't be without each other… He didn't want to have to explain (the divorce) to the public or the media. He did not like the media.
“We wanted to keep our lives private."
During the testimony, Price produced a Valentine's Day card she says she gave Gary in 2009 as part of her testament that they were still in a loving relationship after the official split, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
Ex- GF Gray, who is her own legal counsel, claims she should be granted control of the Coleman estate.
Sounds like a case of “Much ado about nothing”.
