I was thinking the same thing. The greedy b*tch. 😒 I used to love Jerry Lewis. I thought he was sooo funny! His movies were a healing source for me when I was young. I was always sickly. But his movies cheered me up instantly when I watched. Laughter is healing and I used to cry and roll with laughter at some of the silly things he got into. 😂🤣 😣😒Boy was I floored when I found out just how mean anfd contrite he was in real life! Why such hatred for his own flesh and blood-- his children, I'll NEVER know. I've seen them in interviews and they seemed perfectly normal. Wonder if any of them ever wrote a book about him and what he was really like behind closed doors. That would make a lot of money. I'll buy it. Anyway, I think the daughter was lying saying how chipper he was in the morning. Suuuuure Jan. 🙄
@@Cin2023 As a kid I loved his movies but I find in my old age, his humour falls flat with me...perhaps not helped by the fact that he really could be quite nasty.
@@joannaconner4495 wrong. She visited him once when she was an adult. He than told his people he never wanted to see her again. I like Jerry the comedian as well. But he was not always a nice guy. He admitted to cheating on his first wife all the time....
I think there is far more to this than is being said here. The house was put up for sale very soon after his death and was sold at a considerable loss. Danielle Lewis always appears to speak of this matter, rather than her mother, suggesting distress and humiliation. She says that she was given a very insignificant necklace by her mother as a keepsake (religious and initialised, this will be permitted to be kept) and ALL of his jewellery including the supremely precious watch given to him by his beloved Dean Martin are to be auctioned too. Every last item of Lewis' is up for sale. This is an estate in considerable debt and I suspect that the creditors are allowing the family the dignity of pretending they are doing it of their own volition. Lewis was 91 when he died. He had a younger family. He was always a spendthrift (Patti Lewis struggled for years with this) and I know his divorce (although hardly weighty given today's standards) cleared him out considerably. I really do feel these things HAVE to be sold and speedily. A great, great shame and I actually feel for his wife and daughter. Nonetheless, I look at his precious things and only hope that they went to loving owners and that they will be treasured. I know I would.
@@wickedcatsrodriguez yep ALL of them refused to pay their mom's nursing home when Jerry died. He paid it until his death. Maybe that was the valid reason for him doing what he did with the will?
Has anyone seen, I think it's inside edition, did a segment where they found his homeless daughter living on the Streets of Philadelphia? They did a DNA test and she is Jerry Lewis's biological daughter. He had an affair with her mother, don't know the name but she was a actress / model in the 50s. The affair lasted three years and the daughter was the result. He also has screwed his 6 biological children out of the will as well. Jerry Lewis was not the nicey-nice guy that he appeared to be on screen. I feel so sorry for his homeless daughter in Philadelphia, and his six other kids. How in the hell can you not be invited to your own father's funeral?
AND people like the thug BING CROSBY and ANTHONY QUINN were the same with their kids...beating them a lot through their younger years....wonderful isn't it?? NOT REALLY! AH hollywood and all it"s bullshit glamour.!!
his sons got money from him for their entire life! They had their own career and money. His "kids" are in their 70's!!! Plus Jerry didn't have much money when he died and we don't know the whole story so...
Mary M What you say is true as far as it goes, but the same thing is also true of many families. Most people whose elderly parents die are probably middle-aged and already established in life, but usually the parents still leave whatever they have to their children. I know that was the case in my family, and for other people I know: it’s just what you do. I get that Jerry and his sons were estranged (for whatever reason), but it does seem a particularly cruel twist to also cut off his grandchildren (‘their descendants’ as described in his published Will) as most people dote on their grandchildren. I don’t know, as someone who was brought up in a normal loving family myself, the whole thing just seems terribly sad.
@@lindashelley3635 well...most of you are making judgments about things you don't really know! Chris, Jerry's son lately in an interview stated that a lot of things that the press said about his dad are untrue, including stuff about the will! Im just saying that the majority of people like gossip and find some enjoyment in judging people they barely know...that's all! I don't know his family or what kind of relationship they had! However, I avoid speaking in negative terms about someone I actually don't know. Jerry was overall a good man. He gave joy and lauguter to the whole world even if you don't find him funny LOL and did a lot for kids with MD. You and many others are judging his private life, which you don't know ANYTHING of ! And this is just my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Have a good day! 🙂
I agree, buy her a small house for her and her friend and at least give her the right to life in it. Even if she doesn't want to give it to her. I don't know how Danielle lives with herself.
Meanwhile the children from Lewis' first marriage got screwed (removed from their Father's will) and (three of his sons) were not invited to attend his funeral. So while he might have well-treated his adopted daughter and second wife, the opposite can be said about his first wife and children.
That’s right. Jerry’s daughter was on the front page of our Northeast Times and even after two big articles, nothing seems to have been done. She looks exactly like Jerry too.
His sons had a wonderful life, they had huge trust funds so fhey didnt need money from his will not that he was obligated to give them any money from the will they had trust funds, why are they complaining? They lived a great life and their father busted his ass for them to have everything maybe they were spoiled and didnt appreciate their fathers hard work, he had his reasons for what he did or didnt do ill always love that funny man he wasamazing! I still watch him everyday, that man worked hard!!!!! His sons should have appreciated him for all that he did and gave them instead og complaining!!
So now the king of comedy is gone and what does this so called daughter do!! Sell his house and all his belongings so they can live a better life. Oi don’t forget about his first family, his actual blood.
When a family member dies its always like this they all fight for everything and then there's one greedy person who takes it all I no my sister did the same time when my father passed away
First Last I agree 100%, family is family!! However they need to share the love of what their father has created. I have followed Jerry Lewis life since I was 15 till the day he passed. His original family received nothing from his estate. Even though he went bankrupt some time back, he created a bigger fortunes after that. Not to mention the amount of cash he made from selling his films to LA archives film academy. Personally I think she should of handed over the property in Las Vegas to the first family “Sons” and they do what they like with it. And she could of kept the $50 million in other assets. Either way both parties would benefit from their dad’s career. Unfortunately she is receiving all luxuries. That’s just my opinion
I used to love this man. Yet when I found out how he treated his REAL children. I felt sick. He left them nothing. His new family got all of his estates etc. And now she’s going to sell his personal jewellery 🤦♀️ Horrible people.
@emsie76: Maybe they HAD TO. They could have been cash poor. No one has any idea of how much Jerry Lewis had, if anything, other than his possessions. Probably had 24 hour medical care. That could run into the thousands per month. He may not have saved or invested well for his old age. Jerry spent money like water by his own admission, and just look at his estate - his possessions that were up for auction.
If huge trust funds are considered being screwed well I wish I was screwed like that! Lol those boys wanted gor nothing give me a break dont be jealous of all his accalades he was a wonderful generous humanitarian instead of yrashing him go out and try to accomplish HALF of what he did, but Im sure you cant right??? Sorry youre not good enough lol
First Last Wow. He actually has a biological daughter who is currently homeless Inside Edition interviewed her. He gave no money to any of his biological children.
@@carzia_speed2235 and he hosted the Jerry Lewis Telethon???? for it is inthe ego .. not the heart.. no wonder he became bitter.. If you take a close look at the fellows who where IN the Rat Pack... ALL loved their children very much.. Lewis?????? he was ONE RAT that did not fit in....
@@realitychick8903 Lewis was not a member of the Rat Pack. Don't think he was accepted and liked by them, Dean Martin was linked to Lewis by their careers, stated that Jerry just meant $$$ to him.
Yeah, great family...uh, which one exactly...the first who suffered through years of emotional abuse from that miserable man and were tossed aside like trash, or the second who popped in and lived for a few years with a spent old man and got rich quick?
Both wives lived with Jerry for almost 37 years. So it's not true that his family hot rich quick. His kids from first marriage, ALL of them, worked on his telethons, even the last one, in 2010. His first wife had the entire staff to assist her. Second wife did not have that. And in her biography their kids claimed Jerry was strict but fair. Just when he died, they changed their tune. Not to metion they refused to pay their mom's nursing home. Jerry paid it until the day he died. Why you do not try to inform yourself before judging and hating a dead man who can not defend himself?
They do belong to "his" daughter and wife!!! His boys had a wonderful life living in a mansion never wanting for anything, do your research and you will see those boys all had huge trust funds!!! Why shouldnt danni and his wife have his things youre ridiculous, jerry lewis busted his ass for all those kids and gave them a great life, jerry and sam lost a baby plus she had multiple miscarriages so they adopted beautiful danni and he wanted to spoil his little girl, and thats his right to do so, and he also said her brothers embraced their sister with lots of love and thats a beautiful thing. You sir couldnt accomplish half of what jerry lewis has done in his life he was a wonderful caring generous human being perhaps you are jealous because you didnt do what he did but he certainly was not a monster by any means!!!! Rip my sweet jerry lewis xoxo
@@christopherarnett2851 jerry lewis was a huge star until his dying day! A wonderful, kind, generous man, the haters can hate, I dont have time for that bullshit talk, I always loved him and I always will, dont care what negative people say! RIP MY BEAUTIFUL JERRY LEWIS!💕💕💕💕
Of course you actually saw the bank statements? In his life Jerry had to declare bankruptcy several times, Doubt he estate was worth a fraction of that.
@@mwilliams1330 Please be quiet, the media (who have the power get this info.) already claimed the amount he was worth. However, if he was worth a dollar, give 50 cents to his "real" kids, the ones he left out his will.
Yes, the supposed $50 million was rubbish. Who would know what he had left, not the made up figure of his original worth? He had the family home only his wife inherited and that was sold. His adopted daughter wasn't left anything either. Who else was going to help pay for his care at 91?
Maybe that was what Jerry wanted. Not to mention, I'm sure they kept plenty. If you look through the catalog....he had so much stuff....most of it would have just been stored away.
Strangely ironic. A man whose comedic antics brought such laughter and joy to so many, worldwide. In my early days, decades ago...I was a waitress at Nathan's Times Square. I remember vividly the afternoon Jerry Lewis, the MDAA group, David Hartman and the 'kids' came in for lunch. Despite all the staff turning ourselves inside out to see they all had a good time - Lewis was obnoxious, demanding and controlled center stage - the entire time. A most unpleasant interval. He even mocked the Asian busboy who stayed late and was so in awe of this 'great star'. (No he did not leave a tip, either). Remembering his behavior that afternoon, I see how basically contemptuous Lewis was of others - even his own. Not surprised he treated his original family as he did. His rabid fans in France should only know. Yuk...
The stories are numerous from good people speaking about his bad treatment of them. It’s really sad. I saw him on the Joan Rivers show (1968) where he came off very righteous about his discipline methods, causing welts on his 14 year old sons rear end for…bad grades. Are you kidding me? Then disowning them leaving them nothing from his $50 million he left behind. Sad. We’ll never know the full scoop. It just comes off as cold-hearted and unforgiving. Spiritually Jerry must have been empty but so many from his era lacked qualities of the heart. I hope Jerry is at peace having transcended this plane of existence. He’s probably learned of his ways and how it affected everyone of his children, his first wife and all those he mistreated. God Bless them all.
Of course she's going to say nice things about him and talk about all these fond memories of him being a good dad he left her half his money along with her greedy mom 😂
She was adopted. All of Jerry's biological sons were left out of his will. This happened to me. My father remarried and had kids and I didn't hear much from him. I certainly didn't want any of his money or things. I've made my own.
He dumped (vomited) all his childhood pain on his first family and washed himself from his imperfection. If his second wife has any class she will make sure his first family is taken care of...she would not be where she is without the woman who stayed with him all those years.
Maybe this adopted daughter with the second wife will do the right thing and give his sons some of his jewelry and personal items instead of selling them. Sad that people are so money hungry. Karma will get them.
His kids are also money hungry. They refused to pay their mom's nursing home- all 5 of them. Jerry paid it until he died and then go fund me was established for that poor lady. They surely never mention that when they talk ill about him. All of his sons also worked with him and they stole money from him.
HOW CAN YOU HAVE A CHILD AND NOT ACKNOWLEDGE HER? HOW CAN YOU BE A MILLIONAIRE YET YOUR DAUGHTER IS HOMELESS AND ACTUALLY LIVING ON THE STREETS? I'M TALKING ABOUT JERRY LEWIS DESTITUTE DAUGHTER. .
His kids changed the story saying he was strict but fair and even worked with him on telethons. They changed the tune when he died. Not to mention they refused to pay their mom's nursing home after Jerry died. He paid it until he died.
I've seen the segment of Jerrys biological daughter, who looks exactly like him pushing a shopping cart with all her things inside and finding a place to sleep OUTSIDE every nite. What kind of monster father cuts out ALL 7! Of his biological children and gives only to his adopted daughter? They should have contested the will. Karma..Danielle is selling all his personal things to strangers! His real kids should have been able to choose what they wanted as a keepsake. This Danielle is heartless...his 5 sons still living should be wearing his rings. A BOOK of all his personal items? She must have made a fortune.
His REAL, biological daughter is homeless, living on the street and he left her NOTHING. This adopted daughter is just as rotten as Jerry Lewis for not helping her.
Cynthia X, just a question...so you think that just because she was adopted, she wasn't his real daughter? So all of the adopted children of the world do not really belong to their parents just because they are not their biological parents? Kind of cruel to say. There is so much about the story with his biological daughter ( I don't use the word "REAL") but you guys already condemned the man and his "FAKE: daughter lol ...so it doesn't matter. Judging is always the easy way for most people... :(
Mary M That is not the point that I was making here. I am simply suggesting that she (Jerry's adopted daughter) have a little compassion on his biological daughter and do what is RIGHT and help Suzan, even though Jerry himself did NOT do what is right. With the money the adopted daughter recieved, it wouldn't hurt her one bit.
BTW Mary, If you think that I was Judging, then pray tell, what did you just do to ME? Didn't you judge me? At least you made false assumptions about my intent. just sayin'...
I understand! However, Jerry was in his biological daughter's life for a very long time! You can read her book! She didn't ask nothing to Jerry about money! Jerry was a womanizer in his young days just like Dean Martin and his wife Patti didn't want for him to let people know about anything that he did outside of the marriage. Jerry was a huge celebrity...that's a though life. People can't wait to judge you and trash your name ( you can see it by reading the comments in this thread...appalling). When he filmed the bellboy, he did it in Florida so he could be close to his biological daughter. It is cruel to judge someone without knowing his life or what went on..I see that's what most people do and I can tell by just reading this thread. We should teach kids to be compassionate and understanding of others not judgmental, but when I see this (not your comment in particular. It is not an attack to you)..I think that it is just sad...sorry
I wonder if any of his sons are going to try to buy their father’s stuff back the way Julian Lennon bought his father’s stuff back bc Yoko would not just give Julian anything that belonged to his father
Wow. The first sentence out of Danni’s mouth is cold blooded. Is it really a surprise to hear that serious Jerry Lewis fans were upset after he passed? That’s supposed to fill a person with joyful awe, not dismissive eye-rolling.
1:54 ... Ahh, she's getting married! Who's the "Lucky" guy?!! You can bet there's an ironclad, legally binding prenuptial agreement for the lucky guy! You can tell how "$pecial" the memorabilia is to the Gold-Digger Girl$, widow $$anDee & Danielle!!
Wonder if the man is marrying her for the money that she should not be getting that money may have been earned by her not real dad. With a daughter on the street. I can hardly think that Jerry is resting well. And the daughter is left with a curse
This man is an icon in France enough said oh by the way how many gears are there in a French tank well that's an easy answer there are four reverse gears and one forward gear for parades
Was just so chipper- loved to laugh- lived life to the fullest - while he abused his five boys and left them zero inheritance and ignores another daughter leaving her homeless. If your going to lie about someone don’t have contradictory videos posted right next to each other.
I saw the catalog and honestly, there are many things worth donating to a museum, and other things worth donating to whoever needs them like their underwear. I honestly don't quite understand the need to sell all of this. You can sell something, but when you sell even your father's underwear it's really weird. I have nothing to say about Jerry's last will, his reasons will have had and I don't think his children have been left with nothing after so many years. Jerry was certainly not an easy man, but hey, generally the great geniuses in the world had turbulent lives, and nobody doubted his works, it seems that being on the edge is what brings out the best in you. Rest in peace Jerry, someday many will appreciate your work without thinking about your personal life.
Jerry Lewis disinherited most of his kids;. Museums don't pay for items. Its her choice. People will respect the items more if they pay for it. We need to respect Mr. Lewis' final WILL.
Why in the world did she auction off his personal and sentimental belongings??? Wouldn't she want to keep them have as a memory of her father? What about share them with the rest of the family? This doesn't seem right.....
@jett woodward sorry, it didn't seem like you were agreeing with me! By the way, his kids did a lot of awful things to Jerry as well. Anyway judging is wrong because we are talking about another human being whom we don't know at all! We don't know Jerry or his kids! Why this country love gossip so much?? Ill never get that. The man helped kids for all of his life, he made people laugh for generations, and was a brilliant man. That's all we should care about! His private life is only his ! Who are we to judge? What do we know? People waited for him to die to begin to trash his name and erase every wonderful thing that he did...sad
Fan of Jerry since before I could walk, but the family dynamic is so weird. Firstly, he left his daughter his estate and money, so why is she selling off his items? Why not put it in a Jerry Lewis museum, or help out the other children. Maybe the auction is to help children with MS??? There is something off about his daughter. The was she was talking was like talking about a dog, not your own father.
She sits there like a queen in a palace while his own blood related daughter has been homeless for years, now in her 60's Step daughter was 26 here I thought around 36.
She said, oh he was so happy every day!!!!! That’s not what his blood sons said, their mother would talk over the loud speaker-- your father’s home.... and they would all scatter..... bc they never knew what Jerry they were going to get.... he was a very mean man!!!!!
You work as hard as he did and think you wouldnt get cranky and tired! His sons lived a great life, and no parent has to leave their money to their kids! It's up to their parent!
Oh please, those boys lived the best life because of all their fathers hard work! Those boys couldnt handle working as hard as their father, they were spoiled! Jerry lewis was the best.
@@joannaconner4495 I agree!! No one truly knows the truth, his sons lived very richly and lacked nothing!! So why is everybody now shaming him? His sons kept repeatedly writing books and having interviews discrediting their father publicly. They also made alot of money because of this. No wonder he left them nothing! Imagine his reputation , His feelings were obviously destroyed. He was, after all a man just like everyone else
Danielle lewis is not gorgeous it's all greed. I saw in a video jerry lewis said that danielle was gorgeous. Jerry's homeless daughter should be given money!!
They are ALL his "REAL" KIDS. YOU are making a difference between his bio kids and adopted kids. There are 2 adopted kids. His #2 son was adopted too..
This is what is known. Jerry wasn't a very good husband to his first wife and cheated on her routinely. He had a 3 year affair that produced a daughter that he never acknowledged. She became homeless at one point in Philadelphia. He passed away leaving a 50 million dollar estate and wrote all of his biological sons were written out of the will including his illegitimate daughter. He left his entire estate to his 2nd wife and his adopted daughter. Now they are auctioning off his memories and valuables to benefit who? It seems to me that Jerry became an old mean selfish man and despised his biological sons because they sided with their mother after witnessing the torment and deceit Jerry bestowed upon her during their marriage. Jerry was not a nice guy! This is a very selfish story by a step daughter who refuses to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe her step dad Jerry Lewis was wrong in his treatment of his first family and share some of his estate with them regardless of his mean spirited wishes.
Why can't the courts intervene on this crazy heartless situation??? Really! What do the courts exist for anyway, but to set wrongs right! To intervene with logic and reason when a heartless father has been WRONG.???!!!
An interested party with legal standing has to contact the court to initiate the process you are talking about. And there is no guarantee that anything will be set right. A parent does not have to justify excluding his biological children from his will. Anderson Cooper, a multimillionaire many times over and a Vanderbilt descendant, has very small child, a son, and he has already said he plans to make no provision for him. He knew that his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, was planning to leave him nothing. It's really odd, and in Lewis's case it seems horribly cruel and vindictive, and, yes, heartless, but we don't know the whole story and it's none of our business.
I just watched a short video of his son who said his father was emotionally abusive. When Gerry arrived his (wife of 38yrs & mother of their sons) would announce over their home speaker system that he was home. All the kids would scatter because they were never sure what mood he'd be in! He left zero to his sons or even his grandchildren. He left everything ($50 million) to his 2nd wife & the daughter they adopted. ONLY his youngest 2 sons were 'invited' to his funeral but they were not in his will either! What a mean & miserable man he was!! Alot of comments on here are also aware of this.
I noticed this interview made it seem that she was his only child and he was married only once. That's someone who wants to keep everything. What a low life she is. I could never look at myself in the mirror if I did that to the rest of my father's family and would be embarrassed to be his child knowing what he did to them.
He was a louse! He has a homeless daughter who deserves to be in the position more than his adopted daughter. Sons he disowned? And people think he was a great guy?
It's so DIFFICULT to put together the funny man that i loved with the REAL inhumane PERSON. It's NOT BELIEAVABLE that that beautiful funny guy was such a BAD father and could do that to his own children. ONLY AFTER watching his sons speak in videos could I believe how this man was with his boys and wife. It's very very SAD for me.
Had Jerry known that has house and his personal belongings would be $OLD as soon as he died, he would have "Intentionally Disinherited" them too. They got the last laugh!🤣🤣🤣
The Jerry Lewis story is disgusting. It's always interesting to me how many comedians are actually horrible people. As for his second wife and adopted daughter, this is the epitome of greed. I will never watch his movies or shows again.
It a real dam shame his real daughter is living on the streets homeless while this fake daughter gets it all and the hell with the sons this is not the Jerry I new and loved
She is so pathetic. Her adopted father was a monster and it's SICK she refused to give some of the 50 MILLION DOLLARS SHE INHERITED BC OF HIM, TO HIS OTHER KIDS!!!
They can't have had much love for Jerry Lewis when they flog his house and precious stuff less than a year after his death. And she is getting married too now. Didn't want to get married while Jerry was alive, wanted to make him think her "daddy" was her only man.
Her mother gave her that Star of David ? Was that it ? From the entire estate ? Didn’t keep the watches from Dean Martin or Sammy Davis? I’m speechless.
If she had a human spirit she invites Jerry’s sons over to the house one day to visit, she says she wants to have a relationship with them, and then tells them she is splitting the inheritance evenly with all of them. As it should have been. Her soul would be cleansed.
Why would she auction his jewelry and not give it to his children. Unbelievable!!!
perhaps greed ? needs the money for herself? SELFISH>>> all of the above and more.
I was thinking the same thing. The greedy b*tch. 😒
I used to love Jerry Lewis. I thought he was sooo funny! His movies were a healing source for me when I was young. I was always sickly. But his movies cheered me up instantly when I watched. Laughter is healing and I used to cry and roll with laughter at some of the silly things he got into. 😂🤣

And what about Jerry Lewis's love child that lives on the streets 😞. Of I were this girl I would split estate with all kids, including love child.
Well her mother and step father also had ALOT OF MONEY. I’m sure that she had inheritance from them so what did she do with it ?
she makes absolutely no acknowledgement of his other biological children.....she loves his house and items so much, they are all for sale! lol

She was the queen child. And follows in his footsteps of cold behavior.
How could he be so cruel to his other kids? I lost respect for him knowing this.
This Reminds us to make amends where and when ever we can, perhaps guilt and mental illness played a part.

Lana. The videos of his other daughter are absolutely heartbreaking who is homeless.

Has anyone seen, I think it's inside edition, did a segment where they found his homeless daughter living on the Streets of Philadelphia? They did a DNA test and she is Jerry Lewis's biological daughter. He had an affair with her mother, don't know the name but she was a actress / model in the 50s. The affair lasted three years and the daughter was the result. He also has screwed his 6 biological children out of the will as well. Jerry Lewis was not the nicey-nice guy that he appeared to be on screen. I feel so sorry for his homeless daughter in Philadelphia, and his six other kids. How in the hell can you not be invited to your own father's funeral?

What a terrible guy in real life
His daughter, Danielle, is only 26 in this interview. Looks waaay older.
And trashy!
Fatter too. She looked way hot her short dress in the photo where he is putting his hand and footprints in cement.
What about his daughter who is homeless
Stepdaughter
Yeah I noticed that. She wasn't at what I was expecting. I've been hearing him talk about her for years in shows and interviews.
Going thru the items have been healing....$$$$$$$$
I don’t get that statement at all. What the H is healing about going through his belongings and then auctioning them off. What am I missing here ?
I love sarcasm. These peeps r fake family, so they're basking in financial healing all the way to the bank. Pricey tolls to pay one day
Agree. Healing when that money rolls in.
You realize she is already worth millions without having to sell anything.
Nope. Not worth millions.
What about his sons?????? Why not ask her about how his biological sons got screwed.
his sons got money from him for their entire life! They had their own career and money. His "kids" are in their 70's!!! Plus Jerry didn't have much money when he died and we don't know the whole story so...
Mary M What you say is true as far as it goes, but the same thing is also true of many families. Most people whose elderly parents die are probably middle-aged and already established in life, but usually the parents still leave whatever they have to their children. I know that was the case in my family, and for other people I know: it’s just what you do. I get that Jerry and his sons were estranged (for whatever reason), but it does seem a particularly cruel twist to also cut off his grandchildren (‘their descendants’ as described in his published Will) as most people dote on their grandchildren. I don’t know, as someone who was brought up in a normal loving family myself, the whole thing just seems terribly sad.
@@lindashelley3635 well...most of you are making judgments about things you don't really know! Chris, Jerry's son lately in an interview stated that a lot of things that the press said about his dad are untrue, including stuff about the will! Im just saying that the majority of people like gossip and find some enjoyment in judging people they barely know...that's all! I don't know his family or what kind of relationship they had! However, I avoid speaking in negative terms about someone I actually don't know. Jerry was overall a good man. He gave joy and lauguter to the whole world even if you don't find him funny LOL and did a lot for kids with MD. You and many others are judging his private life, which you don't know ANYTHING of ! And this is just my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Have a good day! 🙂
@@marym5037 estimated $50,000,000 . not much money??? REALLY??
@@marym5037 you REALLY like jerry Lewis
I wonder if she has ever contacted or talked to any of her 5 remaining half-brothers, who got nothing from their father.
Of course not........
They aren't half anything, she was adopted which makes her a step sister and being a nasty one too.
His son Anthony Lewis has photos of Danielle on his Facebook page and he called her Little sis.
They should just give the "stuff" to his first family, and his daughter who is homeless.
How about helping his biological daughter, who is homeless.
I agree, buy her a small house for her and her friend and at least give her the right to life in it. Even if she doesn't want to give it to her. I don't know how Danielle lives with herself.
His homeless daughter is where she is because SHE put herself there. She was raised in LUXURY on EUROPE. She had $$$$$$$$...
Meanwhile the children from Lewis' first marriage got screwed (removed from their Father's will) and (three of his sons) were not invited to attend his funeral. So while he might have well-treated his adopted daughter and second wife, the opposite can be said about his first wife and children.
That’s right. Jerry’s daughter was on the front page of our Northeast Times and even after two big articles, nothing seems to have been done. She looks exactly like Jerry too.
True.
His sons had a wonderful life, they had huge trust funds so fhey didnt need money from his will not that he was obligated to give them any money from the will they had trust funds, why are they complaining? They lived a great life and their father busted his ass for them to have everything maybe they were spoiled and didnt appreciate their fathers hard work, he had his reasons for what he did or didnt do ill always love that funny man he wasamazing! I still watch him everyday, that man worked hard!!!!! His sons should have appreciated him for all that he did and gave them instead og complaining!!
@@The3Stooges I couldn't have said it better mate!
@@plmrito Thanks Man!
So now the king of comedy is gone and what does this so called daughter do!! Sell his house and all his belongings so they can live a better life. Oi don’t forget about his first family, his actual blood.
When a family member dies its always like this they all fight for everything and then there's one greedy person who takes it all I no my sister did the same time when my father passed away
First Last I agree 100%, family is family!! However they need to share the love of what their father has created. I have followed Jerry Lewis life since I was 15 till the day he passed. His original family received nothing from his estate. Even though he went bankrupt some time back, he created a bigger fortunes after that. Not to mention the amount of cash he made from selling his films to LA archives film academy. Personally I think she should of handed over the property in Las Vegas to the first family “Sons” and they do what they like with it. And she could of kept the $50 million in other assets. Either way both parties would benefit from their dad’s career. Unfortunately she is receiving all luxuries. That’s just my opinion
Well he forgot about him. She must have learned from here
KING OF COMEDY...
ABSOLUTELY NOT, HE
WAS A JOKE. A REAL
LOOSER. GOOD RIDENCE
I believe it was in his will that he wanted his processions auctioned off ...Following the wills instructions.
I used to love this man. Yet when I found out how he treated his REAL children. I felt sick. He left them nothing. His new family got all of his estates etc. And now she’s going to sell his personal jewellery 🤦♀️
Horrible people.
@emsie76: Maybe they HAD TO. They could have been cash poor. No one has any idea of how much Jerry Lewis had, if anything, other than his possessions. Probably had 24 hour medical care. That could run into the thousands per month. He may not have saved or invested well for his old age. Jerry spent money like water by his own admission, and just look at his estate - his possessions that were up for auction.
Jerry was a real life monster! He was truly evil
Jerry got had. His other children got screwed. This isn't right.
Shekels mah precious
He adopted a son with his first wife Patty.
If huge trust funds are considered being screwed well I wish I was screwed like that! Lol those boys wanted gor nothing give me a break dont be jealous of all his accalades he was a wonderful generous humanitarian instead of yrashing him go out and try to accomplish HALF of what he did, but Im sure you cant right??? Sorry youre not good enough lol

You're not his real daughter.
@First Last why do i See you everywhere and calling people morons-

@@carzia_speed2235 and he hosted the Jerry Lewis Telethon???? for it is inthe ego .. not the heart.. no wonder he became bitter.. If you take a close look at the fellows who where IN the Rat Pack... ALL loved their children very much.. Lewis?????? he was ONE RAT that did not fit in....
@@realitychick8903 Lewis was not a member of the Rat Pack. Don't think he was accepted and liked by them, Dean Martin was linked to Lewis by their careers, stated that Jerry just meant $$$ to him.
Yeah, great family...uh, which one exactly...the first who suffered through years of emotional abuse from that miserable man and were tossed aside like trash, or the second who popped in and lived for a few years with a spent old man and got rich quick?
Both wives lived with Jerry for almost 37 years. So it's not true that his family hot rich quick. His kids from first marriage, ALL of them, worked on his telethons, even the last one, in 2010. His first wife had the entire staff to assist her. Second wife did not have that. And in her biography their kids claimed Jerry was strict but fair. Just when he died, they changed their tune. Not to metion they refused to pay their mom's nursing home. Jerry paid it until the day he died. Why you do not try to inform yourself before judging and hating a dead man who can not defend himself?
Jerry Lewis is Monster! This is sickening! . These personal items belong to his real family, Not you!. ..Lady do what is right!.
Danni IS HIS REAL FAMILY, HELLO ITS HIS DAUGHTER!!!
They do belong to "his" daughter and wife!!! His boys had a wonderful life living in a mansion never wanting for anything, do your research and you will see those boys all had huge trust funds!!! Why shouldnt danni and his wife have his things youre ridiculous, jerry lewis busted his ass for all those kids and gave them a great life, jerry and sam lost a baby plus she had multiple miscarriages so they adopted beautiful danni and he wanted to spoil his little girl, and thats his right to do so, and he also said her brothers embraced their sister with lots of love and thats a beautiful thing. You sir couldnt accomplish half of what jerry lewis has done in his life he was a wonderful caring generous human being perhaps you are jealous because you didnt do what he did but he certainly was not a monster by any means!!!!

Give some of that 50 mil to your stepfamily siblings...Jerry's REAL blood kids
Of course you actually saw the bank statements? In his life Jerry had to declare bankruptcy several times, Doubt he estate was worth a fraction of that.
@@mwilliams1330 it's useless., there are so many haters..:( people in this country love gossip and enjoy making negative comments about others!
I agree
I was going to say something but your statement is so excellent, there's no need for me to say anything. Thank you.
@@mwilliams1330
Please be quiet, the media (who have the power get this info.) already claimed the amount he was worth. However, if he was worth a dollar, give 50 cents to his "real" kids, the ones he left out his will.
I don't understand selling these precious pieces of his life. Do you need the money? I don't get it.
They need the money!! I bet his care in the last few years drained a lot of $$
Yes, the supposed $50 million was rubbish. Who would know what he had left, not the made up figure of his original worth? He had the family home only his wife inherited and that was sold. His adopted daughter wasn't left anything either. Who else was going to help pay for his care at 91?
Maybe that was what Jerry wanted. Not to mention, I'm sure they kept plenty. If you look through the catalog....he had so much stuff....most of it would have just been stored away.
He was a nasty man. Period
Now that I know how horrible the man was nothing of his life other than his sons and homeless daughter were precious! He threw them all away!
Hey Danielle, you've got 5 brothers!!! What about them?! They were there first!!
Strangely ironic. A man whose comedic antics brought such laughter and joy to so many, worldwide. In my early days, decades ago...I was a waitress at Nathan's Times Square. I remember vividly the afternoon Jerry Lewis, the MDAA group, David Hartman and the 'kids' came in for lunch. Despite all the staff turning ourselves inside out to see they all had a good time - Lewis was obnoxious, demanding and controlled center stage - the entire time. A most unpleasant interval. He even mocked the Asian busboy who stayed late and was so in awe of this 'great star'. (No he did not leave a tip, either). Remembering his behavior that afternoon, I see how basically contemptuous Lewis was of others - even his own. Not surprised he treated his original family as he did. His rabid fans in France should only know. Yuk...
Preach,sistah!
He was an egomaniac.
No wonder Dean split with him.
I guess he was Buddy Love character in real life.. mean spirited.
I have read many similar stories of the way he treated people. A very sad man.
The stories are numerous from good people speaking about his bad treatment of them. It’s really sad. I saw him on the Joan Rivers show (1968) where he came off very righteous about his discipline methods, causing welts on his 14 year old sons rear end for…bad grades. Are you kidding me? Then disowning them leaving them nothing from his $50 million he left behind. Sad. We’ll never know the full scoop. It just comes off as cold-hearted and unforgiving. Spiritually Jerry must have been empty but so many from his era lacked qualities of the heart. I hope Jerry is at peace having transcended this plane of existence. He’s probably learned of his ways and how it affected everyone of his children, his first wife and all those he mistreated. God Bless them all.
I have never understood why the French consider him a "genius". I 🤷♀️
The irony! Second wife and adopted child getting it all. How bitter it must be for his biological children and even the homeless love child.
The homeless biological daughter was not specifically disinherited in the will. She should contest.
One of his sons from the first marriage was also adopted.
I pray that all of his children from Patti and the woman born out of wedlock will wind up the winners in this mess!
@@Sunflower-cb1sk Yes. Ron. His #2 son was adopted also.
As a child I loved his movies but I'm heartbroken to hear that in real life he was nothing more than a horrible person.....shame on you Jerry!
Love Jerry!!
Of course she's going to say nice things about him and talk about all these fond memories of him being a good dad he left her half his money along with her greedy mom 😂
She was adopted. All of Jerry's biological sons were left out of his will. This happened to me. My father remarried and had kids and I didn't hear much from him. I certainly didn't want any of his money or things. I've made my own.
Sorry that happened to you
Susan Lewis is his real daughter living on the street so sad
@First Last daughter yes... biological no
She is not even a "blood" daughter! Why would she not open her heart to his biological sons??
Would have been a noble, kind thing to do!
Gary Lewis helped her, including giving his blood to support her claim of being Jerry Lewis's daughter!
He dumped (vomited) all his childhood pain on his first family and washed himself from his imperfection. If his second wife has any class she will make sure his first family is taken care of...she would not be where she is without the woman who stayed with him all those years.
Jean Laubenthal you are so right. HE dumped and did not take care of his first family which before God he should have
I USE YO LIKE JERRY LEWIS BUT WHEN YOU SEE HOW HE DID HIS FIRST FAMILY MAKES YOU WANT TO THROW UP
This is what narcissists do.
He made certain that parties taken care of up to end. She was in a nursing home for decades. Jeeeze.
Imagine not looking after the wellbeing of you’re siblings 🤦🏻♂️
Maybe this adopted daughter with the second wife will do the right thing and give his sons some of his jewelry and personal items instead of selling them. Sad that people are so money hungry. Karma will get them.
Seriously doubt it.
His kids are also money hungry. They refused to pay their mom's nursing home- all 5 of them. Jerry paid it until he died and then go fund me was established for that poor lady. They surely never mention that when they talk ill about him. All of his sons also worked with him and they stole money from him.
Lol, a non blood relative selling the family silver, " we don't need his crap, we got his dosh ".
Such a shame he wasn't a dad like that to his biological children
Hey Danielle.... any plans to help out Jerry's homeless biological daughter????
Must be nice getting all of that estate money when Jerry's real kids didn't get one red cent................
Since finding out how he treated his other kids I just cant watch his movies anymore.
I can. I’ll go to my grave loving Jerry Lewis. So many laughs and so much fun memories from childhood. I still love and watch his movies.
Stop judging the man
Certainly your right & LOSS.
HOW CAN YOU HAVE A CHILD AND NOT ACKNOWLEDGE HER?
HOW CAN YOU BE A MILLIONAIRE YET YOUR DAUGHTER IS HOMELESS AND ACTUALLY LIVING ON THE STREETS?
I'M TALKING ABOUT JERRY LEWIS DESTITUTE DAUGHTER.
.
No longer Jerrys problem. is it?
A $50 million estate, and none of his 6 children got anything. Neither did their mother, wife of Lewis for 38 years. Shameful.
I have no respect for the adopted daughter, she should have involved all 5 boys, they should have held the estate up in court fighting this BS!
their mother died in April 2021 at age 99.
So confusing after hearing what his son had to say when he passed away, how bizarre, it's like two different lives?
Jerry's real daughter is homeless somewhere, and "Dani" has become quite the cow...moooooo
Now come on - what kind of a statement us that ? Doesn’t make you sound very good.
@@lilybond6485....yea I'm the bad guy...he abandoned his sons, left a daughter homeless, yea..my comments are the problem...
He was “happy all the time”? Maybe with you he was. The kids with his wife of 30+ years tell a different story.
No way can he be any
Different with this
Afopted one. She had
To keep up the fasaudE
M O N E Y. ..MONEY.
His kids changed the story saying he was strict but fair and even worked with him on telethons. They changed the tune when he died. Not to mention they refused to pay their mom's nursing home after Jerry died. He paid it until he died.
look how proud she is to rob his family of inheritance. so smug
I would be chipper also if I inherited 50 million bucks..
And not even his actual child at that
Isn’t this the adopted daughter who got everything? And has she given any of it to his actual children? I don’t think so by the looks of it
I've seen the segment of Jerrys biological daughter, who looks exactly like him pushing a shopping cart with all her things inside and finding a place to sleep OUTSIDE every nite. What kind of monster father cuts out ALL 7! Of his biological children and gives only to his adopted daughter? They should have contested the will. Karma..Danielle is selling all his personal things to strangers! His real kids should have been able to choose what they wanted as a keepsake. This Danielle is heartless...his 5 sons still living should be wearing his rings. A BOOK of all his personal items? She must have made a fortune.
His REAL, biological daughter is homeless, living on the street and he left her NOTHING. This adopted daughter is just as rotten as Jerry Lewis for not helping her.
Cynthia X, just a question...so you think that just because she was adopted, she wasn't his real daughter? So all of the adopted children of the world do not really belong to their parents just because they are not their biological parents? Kind of cruel to say. There is so much about the story with his biological daughter ( I don't use the word "REAL") but you guys already condemned the man and his "FAKE: daughter lol ...so it doesn't matter. Judging is always the easy way for most people... :(
Mary M That is not the point that I was making here. I am simply suggesting that she (Jerry's adopted daughter) have a little compassion on his biological daughter and do what is RIGHT and help Suzan, even though Jerry himself did NOT do what is right. With the money the adopted daughter recieved, it wouldn't hurt her one bit.
BTW Mary, If you think that I was Judging, then pray tell, what did you just do to ME? Didn't you judge me? At least you made false assumptions about my intent. just sayin'...
I understand! However, Jerry was in his biological daughter's life for a very long time! You can read her book! She didn't ask nothing to Jerry about money! Jerry was a womanizer in his young days just like Dean Martin and his wife Patti didn't want for him to let people know about anything that he did outside of the marriage. Jerry was a huge celebrity...that's a though life. People can't wait to judge you and trash your name ( you can see it by reading the comments in this thread...appalling). When he filmed the bellboy, he did it in Florida so he could be close to his biological daughter. It is cruel to judge someone without knowing his life or what went on..I see that's what most people do and I can tell by just reading this thread. We should teach kids to be compassionate and understanding of others not judgmental, but when I see this (not your comment in particular. It is not an attack to you)..I think that it is just sad...sorry
Well that's what you wrote! You specified REAL and ADOPTED. A daughter is a daughter. That comment could hurt some people who read it...just saying.
She’s horrible for not sharing with his sons
I wonder if any of his sons are going to try to buy their father’s stuff back the way Julian Lennon bought his father’s stuff back bc Yoko would not just give Julian anything that belonged to his father
they dont have any money...remember
When Julian wanted to make a record, who helped him? Paul McCartney. Yoko is garbage.
It didn't take the second wife and his step-daughter long to liquidate all his holdings including selling the house???
Wow. The first sentence out of Danni’s mouth is cold blooded. Is it really a surprise to hear that serious Jerry Lewis fans were upset after he passed? That’s supposed to fill a person with joyful awe, not dismissive eye-rolling.
His real daughter looks like him and what a sweet and kind woman jerry lewis was a cruel man he did not care for his real children 🤔
Her mom has been kinda quiet. Guilt maybe
Jerry made me laugh. but I’m not going to cry about it. He is just a man like anybody else.
I will cry when my family passes
1:54 ... Ahh, she's getting married! Who's the "Lucky" guy?!!
You can bet there's an ironclad, legally binding prenuptial agreement for the lucky guy!
You can tell how "$pecial" the memorabilia is to the Gold-Digger Girl$, widow $$anDee & Danielle!!
Awww So THAT is the reason of selling everything she can... she need money.
WIll Somervell...wow lots of judgment! Im not surprised though.
Why dont you stop gossipping. Your mouth is open like a fool
@@andrews4596 I agree...so many judgmental human beings 😢
Wonder if the man is marrying her for the money that she should not be getting that money may have been earned by her not real dad. With a daughter on the street. I can hardly think that Jerry is resting well. And the daughter is left with a curse
This man is an icon in France enough said oh by the way how many gears are there in a French tank well that's an easy answer there are four reverse gears and one forward gear for parades
HAHAHAHAHA....THAT WAS AN AWESOME BURN FRIEND
Jerry, has recently been Metoo'd too.... Couple of old actress's have said he was a duplicate Harvey Weinstien
I believe it. He was always chasing young starlets.
Was just so chipper- loved to laugh- lived life to the fullest - while he abused his five boys and left them zero inheritance and ignores another daughter leaving her homeless.
If your going to lie about someone don’t have contradictory videos posted right next to each other.
I saw the catalog and honestly, there are many things worth donating to a museum, and other things worth donating to whoever needs them like their underwear. I honestly don't quite understand the need to sell all of this. You can sell something, but when you sell even your father's underwear it's really weird. I have nothing to say about Jerry's last will, his reasons will have had and I don't think his children have been left with nothing after so many years. Jerry was certainly not an easy man, but hey, generally the great geniuses in the world had turbulent lives, and nobody doubted his works, it seems that being on the edge is what brings out the best in you. Rest in peace Jerry, someday many will appreciate your work without thinking about your personal life.
Jerry Lewis disinherited most of his kids;. Museums don't pay for items. Its her choice. People will respect the items more if they pay for it. We need to respect Mr. Lewis' final WILL.
Why in the world did she auction off his personal and sentimental belongings??? Wouldn't she want to keep them have as a memory of her father? What about share them with the rest of the family? This doesn't seem right.....
Boy! You have some nerve to have an auction! With about this man's son's!
That's not his true daughter she is on the street. what a creep
Lori Carter His homeless daughter look so much like him, she even has his dimple chin.
AMEN TO THAT !!!!!
Lori Carter, so adopted children are not real children??Just because she was adopted, she is not his kid?
@jett woodward sure.. you know everything :)
@jett woodward sorry, it didn't seem like you were agreeing with me! By the way, his kids did a lot of awful things to Jerry as well. Anyway judging is wrong because we are talking about another human being whom we don't know at all! We don't know Jerry or his kids! Why this country love gossip so much?? Ill never get that. The man helped kids for all of his life, he made people laugh for generations, and was a brilliant man. That's all we should care about! His private life is only his ! Who are we to judge? What do we know? People waited for him to die to begin to trash his name and erase every wonderful thing that he did...sad
Fan of Jerry since before I could walk, but the family dynamic is so weird. Firstly, he left his daughter his estate and money, so why is she selling off his items? Why not put it in a Jerry Lewis museum, or help out the other children. Maybe the auction is to help children with MS??? There is something off about his daughter. The was she was talking was like talking about a dog, not your own father.
She sits there like a queen in a palace while his own blood related daughter has been homeless for years, now in her 60's Step daughter was 26 here I thought around 36.
Selfishness is what this man has had. He abandoned his 6 kids and a homeless daughter. Sick.
Sorry but...."he who has not sinned......" just saying. I know in my 75 years I've made many mistakes. No one is perfect!
Great to see.The legend of Jerry Lewis lives forever ✝️ All the best too you.God bless all your days ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
She said, oh he was so happy every day!!!!! That’s not what his blood sons said, their mother would talk over the loud speaker-- your father’s home.... and they would all scatter..... bc they never knew what Jerry they were going to get.... he was a very mean man!!!!!
You work as hard as he did and think you wouldnt get cranky and tired! His sons lived a great life, and no parent has to leave their money to their kids! It's up to their parent!
Why believe them instead of believing his daughter? Those boys never appreciated their father thats the shame he gave them everything!
Oh please, those boys lived the best life because of all their fathers hard work! Those boys couldnt handle working as hard as their father, they were spoiled! Jerry lewis was the best.
@@joannaconner4495 I agree!! No one truly knows the truth, his sons lived very richly and lacked nothing!! So why is everybody now shaming him? His sons kept repeatedly writing books and having interviews discrediting their father publicly. They also made alot of money because of this. No wonder he left them nothing! Imagine his reputation ,
His feelings were obviously destroyed. He was, after all a man
just like everyone else
Why don’t you give some of his stuff to his sons and daughter that he deserted . Shame on him and you!
Turns out he was meanest man alive
Can you help your half sister who lives on the street??
Interesting......NOT A WORD ABOUT HIM DISINHERITING HIS OTHER 5 KIDS...
Left ZERO to the Sons...
It's unfortunate that they couldn't have the decency to share with the rest of his children. It's not how I like to remember Jerry Lewis.
Danielle lewis is not gorgeous it's all greed. I saw in a video jerry lewis said that danielle was gorgeous. Jerry's homeless daughter should be given money!!
If only he treated his real kids that way
They are ALL his "REAL" KIDS. YOU are making a difference between his bio kids and adopted kids. There are 2 adopted kids. His #2 son was adopted too..
@@lindasloat2794 if there wasn’t a difference then why does he treat them differently? 🤔
This is what is known. Jerry wasn't a very good husband to his first wife and cheated on her routinely. He had a 3 year affair that produced a daughter that he never acknowledged. She became homeless at one point in Philadelphia. He passed away leaving a 50 million dollar estate and wrote all of his biological sons were written out of the will including his illegitimate daughter. He left his entire estate to his 2nd wife and his adopted daughter. Now they are auctioning off his memories and valuables to benefit who? It seems to me that Jerry became an old mean selfish man and despised his biological sons because they sided with their mother after witnessing the torment and deceit Jerry bestowed upon her during their marriage. Jerry was not a nice guy! This is a very selfish story by a step daughter who refuses to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe her step dad Jerry Lewis was wrong in his treatment of his first family and share some of his estate with them regardless of his mean spirited wishes.
I did not know he had a step daughter. Reportedly a daughter he had because of an affair in the 1950's, is homeless.
Why can't the courts intervene on this crazy heartless situation??? Really! What do the courts exist for anyway, but to set wrongs right! To intervene with logic and reason when a heartless father has been WRONG.???!!!
An interested party with legal standing has to contact the court to initiate the process you are talking about. And there is no guarantee that anything will be set right. A parent does not have to justify excluding his biological children from his will. Anderson Cooper, a multimillionaire many times over and a Vanderbilt descendant, has very small child, a son, and he has already said he plans to make no provision for him. He knew that his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, was planning to leave him nothing. It's really odd, and in Lewis's case it seems horribly cruel and vindictive, and, yes, heartless, but we don't know the whole story and it's none of our business.
Yeah, Jerry was a sweetheart. Just ask his sons.
She didn’t deserve to inherit anything. Lewis is utterly despicable for disinheriting his sons and first daughter.
I just watched a short video of his son who said his father was emotionally abusive. When Gerry arrived his (wife of 38yrs & mother of their sons) would announce over their home speaker system that he was home. All the kids would scatter because they were never sure what mood he'd be in! He left zero to his sons or even his grandchildren. He left everything ($50 million) to his 2nd wife & the daughter they adopted. ONLY his youngest 2 sons were 'invited' to his funeral but they were not in his will either! What a mean & miserable man he was!! Alot of comments on here are also aware of this.
I noticed this interview made it seem that she was his only child and he was married only once. That's someone who wants to keep everything. What a low life she is. I could never look at myself in the mirror if I did that to the rest of my father's family and would be embarrassed to be his child knowing what he did to them.
What a pos of a father
Ignoring his real kids.
He was a louse! He has a homeless daughter who deserves to be in the position more than his adopted daughter. Sons he disowned? And people think he was a great guy?
Jerry was not very nice to his first family and his homeless daughter....sad situation for them.
She isn't even his daughter, that house and his belongings shouldn't be theirs to flog
It's so DIFFICULT to put together the funny man that i loved with the REAL inhumane PERSON. It's NOT BELIEAVABLE that that beautiful funny guy was such a BAD father and could do that to his own children. ONLY AFTER watching his sons speak in videos could I believe how this man was with his boys and wife. It's very very SAD for me.
1:12 He was so happy he disinherited his other kids and hated them. That’s the real reason he was crying every year on the telethon.
Omg. You are the sob. You have NO idea of what you speak of. 😵😖😩
God I miss Jerry so much 😢
Had Jerry known that has house and his personal belongings would be $OLD as soon as he died, he would have "Intentionally Disinherited" them too. They got the last laugh!🤣🤣🤣
The Jerry Lewis story is disgusting. It's always interesting to me how many comedians are actually horrible people. As for his second wife and adopted daughter, this is the epitome of greed. I will never watch his movies or shows again.
Suzan has a very different life
It a real dam shame his real daughter is living on the streets homeless while this fake daughter gets it all and the hell with the sons this is not the Jerry I new and loved
She is so pathetic. Her adopted father was a monster and it's SICK she refused to give some of the 50 MILLION DOLLARS SHE INHERITED BC OF HIM, TO HIS OTHER KIDS!!!
They can't have had much love for Jerry Lewis when they flog his house and precious stuff less than a year after his death. And she is getting married too now. Didn't want to get married while Jerry was alive, wanted to make him think her "daddy" was her only man.
Your comment was spot on!!!
Unless you're very poor why would you sell your legacy?
That's my thinking too.
Because this is NO LEGACY, not to those who waited for him to die and leave them ... MONEY.
@@marylou931 Ahhh....very good point!
Her mother gave her that Star of David ? Was that it ? From the entire estate ? Didn’t keep the watches from Dean Martin or Sammy Davis? I’m speechless.
They sold everything!
If she had a human spirit she invites Jerry’s sons over to the house one day to visit, she says she wants to have a relationship with them, and then tells them she is splitting the inheritance evenly with all of them. As it should have been. Her soul would be cleansed.
