The widow of the Cosby Show star is suing his mother for a million euros.

The widow of actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, known for his role in 'The Cosby Show,' has filed a lawsuit against his mother, who manages the family trust, demanding over 1 million euros in unpaid financial obligations. Warner died in a drowning accident in Costa Rica in July 2025 at age 54. His widow claims he had committed to setting up a life insurance policy worth a million dollars, naming her as the beneficiary, but never finalized it. She also alleges he failed to fulfill other financial commitments, including annual payments for his wedding anniversary and monthly payments for his personal assistant. The total claim includes principal, interest, and legal fees, amounting to approximately 1.1 million euros. The widow stated she attempted to resolve inheritance matters privately while respecting potential wishes, but now faces significant financial strain as the sole guardian of her daughter. Warner was known for keeping his private life away from the public eye.
