an upcoming biopic about Joey Ramone entitled I Slept With Joey Ramone, starring Pete Davidson.According to Billboard, Johnny Ramone’s widow, Linda, filed a lawsuit in Manhattan court on Saturday (January 21), claiming that Leigh – real name Mitchel Hyman – “covertly developed an unapproved and unauthorized Ramones-based biopic” based on his “one-sided recitation of the history of the Ramones”.While the lawsuit does not explicitly name Netflix as a defendant in the case, Linda Ramone’s representatives stated that the film being referred to is based on Leigh’s memoir, I Slept With Joey Ramone, which Netflix announced to be producing in 2021. While the streaming platform then stated that the film had the support of the Joey Ramone estate, Linda’s lawsuit objected to its production unless it also gained her approval.
Linda and Leigh both own equal shares in the Ramones’ intellectual property, and represent Johnny and Joey Ramone’s respective estates.“Ms. Ramone objects to defendants’ attempt to create a Ramones film without her involvement — not to be obstinate, but rather based on defendants’ disregard for [Ramones] assets and their conduct and treatment of Ms.
Ramone and her late husband,” Linda’s attorneys write. “To permit defendants alone to tell the authoritative story of the Ramones would be an injustice to the band and its legacy.”Billboard’s report notes that Linda Ramone’s lawsuit also makes various other allegations involving both Leigh and David Frey, who was appointed by Leigh to oversee the Ramones’ holding company.
