Casey Kasem's wife Jean Kasem has been dropped by her second set of laywers, said a report from Daily Mail, as the late radio DJ's family warns their stepmother for being "out of control."
The legal battle over Casey Kasem's remains between Jean Kasem and the radio host's children from his first marriage continues, with the 60-year-old widow being accused by her stepchildren as being "out of control". Casey Kasem's wife was dumped by Seattle-based law firm Ryan, Swanson, and Cleveland after briefly representing her in a controversial case involving the missing body of the beloved radio host of "American Top 40". Proof of how Casey Kasem's wife was again abandoned by her lawyers were documents filed with the Superior Court in Pierce County, Washington. Casey Kasem's wife being let go by Ryan, Swanson, and Cleveland comes after the widow was dropped by her original lawyers from LA-based firm Haney & Young. The firm says they signed a contract with Jean Kasem last June 5, 2014, but the widow ignored legal bills that eventually mounted fees against Casey's Estate that could allegedly sum up to $500,000. Lawyer Logan Clarke represents Casey Kasem's children - namely Kerri, Mike, and Julie - and told MailOnline: "Jean is out-of-control and has now been dumped by all of her attorneys, she's flying without a plane." "She's been playing games with the family and dragging them through court but she's losing any support she had, soon she'll be all alone," the lawyer adds. The death of Casey Kasem has been plagued by intrigues as children from his first marriage, led by Kerri Kasem, said their father was being kept away from them by their stepmother Jean Kasem, all while being sick with Parkinson's and dementia. A court battle ensued and Kerri Kasem was given the chance to have doctors examine her father. It was then discovered that he had been removed from a Santa Monica hospital by Jean Kasem and taken out of California. Casey Kasem was 82 when he died last June 15 at a hospital in Gig Harbor, Washington. His second wife of 34 years, Jean Kasem, is responsible for the missing body. According to People magazine, Kerri then sent a lawyer to Gaffney Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Tacoma, Washington, where Casey Kasem's body was confirmed by police to be missing. The children of Casey Kasem fear that a secret funeral has taken place and that they will no longer be able to get a glimpse of their late father, as Jean Kasem was allegedly seen by witnesses with her daughter, Liberty, in a burial service last weekend.
