Joe Montana Sues Ex-Wife



Kim Moses, the ex-wife of Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, recently auctioned off several personal possessions that once belonged to him, and now things like their marriage certificate; a letter he wrote her on a Ziggy card; an "I Love You" note; and a letter Montana wrote to Moses's parents detailing his first year playing for Notre Dame are available for everyone's perusal on The Smoking Gun.

Also on The Smoking Gun: Montana's lawsuit against Moses over the auction:
Montana, 51, claims that the sale of the assorted items--which were auctioned last weekend by a Dallas, Texas firm--violated his copyright and privacy rights. In a U.S. District Court complaint, Montana names Kim Moses, his first wife, and Heritage Auction as defendants.

I agree that its tacky, but if he gave her the items as gifts, I'm not sure how that works legally.

I would say they are her so do with as she wishes!

You are right. I forgot about that. Suppose it may also depends on the law in that state.

Re: Joe Montana Sues Ex-Wife

The copyright argument is an interesting angle, if he's suing because she's profiting by selling something he wrote without his permission. Technically, I think that if she's selling that letter and she doesn't have contractual rights to sell it, then that could well be protected in the courts. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

Yes, his current wife's name is Jennifer, but this isn't his first marriage.
