Teresa Earnhardt Lawsuit Against Her Stepson, Kerry Earnhardt
Kerry Earnhardt, the eldest son of the late Dale Earnhardt, was born in 1969 and is a stepson of Teresa Earnhardt.
In May 2016, the ex-wife of Dale filed a lawsuit against Kerry Earnhardt, accusing him of using the Earnhardt name in his business without her permission.
Kerry and his wife René intended to market homes and furniture under “The Earnhardt Collection.”
On July 27, 2017, Teresa achieved a significant legal victory when an appeal ruled in her favor. The U.S. Trademark Trial were required to further clarify their decision to allow Kerry’s use of the “Earnhardt Collection” name for his business.
During an episode of the Dale Jr. Download, Kerry entailed how his father’s death is affecting him personally. He added he doesn’t feel the same about Dale Earnhardt Inc. anymore.
He mentioned that people admired his father’s common sense approach and his ability to clearly communicate his desires. However, after his father passed away, Teresa took over, and her way of communication differed significantly.
Also, he yelled at Teresa for not paying him for months and said that they breached the contract with him.
