"Unfortunately, we were forced to file a lawsuit against Dean Guitars," she explained, saying it was "necessary for us to end Dime's endorsement of Dean Guitars to continue to honor and celebrate his legacy the way he deserves, and in the way he had laid it out." "After much consideration, it is with great sadness that I announce the longstanding relationship between Dimebag and Dean Guitars is over," Haney shared.
Dimebag, whose real name was Darrell Abbott, switched from endorsing Washburn Guitars to Dean shortly before he was murdered onstage in 2004 during a performance by his post-Pantera band, Damageplan. 16), Haney issued a statement outlining the situation and shared documentation of the entire lawsuit on the official Dimebag Darrell website. The estate of the late Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell has terminated the icon's posthumous endorsement of Dean Guitars and sued the musical instrument manufacturer for, among other things, breach of contract, fraud and accounting irregularities related to the partnership, as Rita Haney, Darrell's bereaved girlfriend and estate trustee, revealed this week.

We will allow the full truth to come out as the legal process takes its course.” Haney’s claims - across the board - are baseless, without any merit and not grounded in reality. We have stood by the estate through good and bad. Dean Guitars is proud to have played a role in ensuring Dime's legacy not only survived, but thrived over the past 17 years. Haney has allowed her unrealistic demands and accusations to dictate the future of the Dimebag Darrell legacy in the absence of Dime's immediate family. Haney has taken after both the Abbott brothers have tragically passed away, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors. We are shocked and saddened to see the actions that Ms. We have enjoyed a long-standing, 17-year relationship with Dime and Vinnie, and continue that relationship with Vinnie's estate on the ddrum side. It reads as follows: “We have always treated Dime and his brother Vinnie with the utmost respect and loyalty.
The way Phil is now, that’s the real Philip Anselmo, the one that we all knew and loved, and there’s just no way that Darrell wouldn’t be standing by his side.UPDATE: Dean Guitars CEO Evan Rubinson has issued a statement concerning the lawsuit to Metal Injection. I know he would, because Darrell always had Pantera in his heart and that’s who he always wanted to be. Well, Slayer would probably be playing with him! But he would definitely be up onstage next to Phil and Rex and his brother. “He would most probably be playing at the Forum tonight with Slayer. In your opinion, What do you think Dime would be doing if he were still here today? There’s still resentments over things that we wished didn’t happen or that we won’t see eye-to-eye on, but it’s a start right now, and I think it’s a great road to recovery.” And Darrell was the most forgiving person that I know. “Well, you know, when somebody looks you straight in the eye and tells you that they have no excuse for what happened and that they’re sorry, and they admit to their transgressions and the things that plagued them at that time, what else do you expect from them? They’re your family, no matter what. What’s your relationship like now with Phil and Rex? Just knowing that you have that power, you can take it two ways – you can be a dick or you handle people the way you’d want them to handle you.’” I’d hate it if I’d have walked up to one of my idols and just got blown off because they were having a bad day. When you’ve got that much power, man, it’s dangerous. “I don’t think that he could totally see how much he touched people, but one thing he told me, just before he left on that last run, was, ‘I can make or break somebody’s day with just a look or a word. What would he have made of the love and idolisation that he is still given today? I’d say, ‘I can’t! If I do it, will you just let me go back to bed?’ So I’d slam the shot and go back to bed and he’d go back into the kitchen to play with his playmates. He’d come into the bedroom in the middle of the night and wake me up from a dead sleep – just hours before I’d have to be up – and try to cram a shot on me. “It’d drive me nuts when I’d have to go to work in the morning and Darrell and the boys would still be going strong in the kitchen. Is there anything he used to do that drove you nuts? And it says, ‘For you, Rita, you know who, Dimez.’ That’s one of the most favourite gifts that he got for me.
