Tenisha Warner, the widow of actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, has filed a lawsuit against his mother, Pamela Warner, over a prenuptial agreement dispute. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeks $1.2 million, alleging that Pamela Warner failed to honor promises made in the prenuptial agreement regarding the actor's estate.
According to court documents obtained by multiple news outlets, Tenisha Warner claims that the prenuptial agreement, signed before her marriage to Malcolm-Jamal Warner, included provisions for her financial security after his death. She alleges that Pamela Warner, as executor of the estate, has not fulfilled these obligations.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show,' died on July 15, 2026, at the age of 55. The cause of death has not been publicly disclosed. His estate includes assets from his acting career and other ventures.
Pamela Warner has not yet publicly responded to the lawsuit. The case is ongoing.
