Gladys Knight Sues Son After Restaurant Was Raided For $1 Million Shenanigans
If you’ve ever been to Atlanta, you’ve likely seen the long azz line outside of the world famous Gladys Knight & Ron Winans Chicken & Waffles. According to TMZ, the Georgia Dept. of Revenue has raided the ATL eatery and confiscated files, computers and the contents of a safe.
Now TMZ reports that Gladys is suing her very own son for the raid…
Gladys wants the person now running the restaurants previously managed by her son, Shanga Hankerson, to 86 her from signs and promotions for the chicken and waffle joints.
Gladys says she gave the green light to use her name and image for the restaurants back in ’99, but put the kibosh on the deal a few months ago after the eateries were raided by the Georgia Department of Revenue. Her son was arrested for allegedly pocketing a million bucks.
And one more thing … in addition to money and an injunction, Gladys wants all her memorabilia adorning the restaurants returned to her.
Chicken ain’t thicker than blood!
