Masters Barry has reportedly filed a lawsuit asking that Kim Dickens stop using the onetime D.C. Council member's name and "celebrity identity" to raise money for the Barry Dickens Kidney Foundation, which, according to the organization's website, Barry helped her start.
Barry's widow claims that this isn't true, according to her lawsuit on behalf of the Barry estate, and adds that if Barry did participate in the founding of the organization before his death in November 2014, the Barry estate does not want Dickens using the Barry name after his death.
The City Paper notes that the lawsuit even asks that all promotional material that includes Barry's name be turned over so that it may be destroyed.
