Ronnie James Dio's Widow Hurt By Cash-In Claims

05/23/2011
. (Rock News Desk) Ronnie James Dio's widow Wendy says she's hurt by continued allegations that she's cashing in on the singer's death. She managed her husband for much of his career, but they'd split as a couple by the time he succumbed to stomach cancer last May.

Wendy has continued to build Niji Entertainment, the company they started together, and says she's "sorry" for those who continue to accuse her of cashing in.

"I feel very, very sad. It's very hurtful. I know what Ronnie and I had together � most fans know I wouldn't do anything to hurt his reputation," She tells Roadie Crew. "Ronnie and I always fundraised: for animals, for children, for everything. It's only right I continue to do that." more on this story
