The battle over Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s estate has taken an even more personal turn.
The late ‘Cosby Show’ star’s mother, Pamela Warner, now claims his widow Tenisha Warner has severed her relationship with granddaughter MacKenzie Warner following Malcolm’s death.
The allegation adds a deeply personal layer to the family’s increasingly public fight over the actor’s estate.

In new court documents, Pamela claims Tenisha “terminated” her relationship with MacKenzie after Malcolm’s July 2025 death, according to TMZ.
She reportedly maintains that she harbors no “ill-will” toward her daughter-in-law and says she does not understand what is driving the situation.
The new filing arrives just days after Tenisha accused Pamela of selling the Los Angeles home she says Malcolm intended to leave to his wife and daughter. Pamela disputes that framing and argues the estate could not continue carrying the property’s reported $9,000 monthly expenses.
As previously reported, Pamela has separately reached a proposed settlement with MacKenzie’s court-appointed guardians that would reportedly see the youngster receive the majority remainder of the Trust and Estate. That agreement remains subject to court approval.
Malcolm died aged 54 after an accidental drowning in Costa Rica in July 2025.
I know that’s his momma, but I don’t trust black people with blonde hair. 🤷🏾♀️
