Really sorry to hear he passed away. I didn't know that.
I enjoy almost all of his music
RIP

Oh my goodness. I'm not sure what to think about all of this now. "Impoverished widow" ..?? Is she implying she is broke now?

Perhaps she's a spendthrift, not good with money and didn't save or invest any of her own funds. Staying married to Ric means no divorce settlement happened, so she didn't get any money from that.

She had been dating another man for some time

There's also this story from late last year, claiming Ric had been dx with cancer

Disappointed in finding out all this after Ric's death. JMO, it's almost TMI.

MOO, I don't understand her agenda. Suddenly she wants to blow up the box so women don't have to get all their value from their looks? Lots of pics of her body to prove it doesn't matter?

"In her post, Paulina applauded Pink for teaching her child that they should 'help other people discover their beauty' rather than trying to fix themselves."

'Now, that is something to strive for,' she wrote. 'Not change yourself to fit in the box, but to blow up the f*****g box.'

The former American's Next Top Model host said she'd like to end her post with a rousing, 'Let's blow up the f*****g box, ladies,' but admitted she's not entirely free from focusing on her looks.

'The truth is that I am a mid-fifties woman,' she wrote. 'I’m vain and insecure, and next week I could decide to have surgical help to fit the comfortable and warm and familiar box instead of crusading to blow it up. #selfie #truth #beauty #sexyhasnoagelimit.'

I guess $$$Money$$$ is a concern.

Ric specifically addressed the rule in his will, stating: 'Even if I should die before our divorce is final… Paulina is not entitled to any elective share… because she has abandoned me.'

However, unless it can be proven in court that she did abandon him, she will likely be entitled to a one-third share of the musician's assets, which are listed as $5 million in 'copyrights', $100,000 in 'tangible personal property,' and $15,000 in cash.

I'm staying out of it. Loved Ric's music.
