Rita Benson LeBlanc, family file suit claiming Tom Benson incompetent to control New Orleans Saints, Pelicans

[SgtJoo]

The shocking struggle for control of the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans escalated Thursday (Jan. 23) as family members associated with Rita Benson LeBlanc filed a lawsuit claiming that the teams' owner and family patriarch Tom Benson is incompetent and is being directed by a manipulative wife and her allies at the highest level of the sports empire.

I heard rumors Benson was thinking about kicking his daughter out of the organization. Also heard rumors that Sean Payton hates the daughter and will leave if she assumes control

Drew Brees on @Saints , Tom Benson plan: All I can say is I

absolutely love Gayle Benson .

Tom Benson (a devout Catholic) has the Archbishop of New Orleans on his side:

"I am glad to be both friend and spiritual adviser to Tom Benson. Through that relationship, I can assure you he is a man who daily strives to live out the values of Jesus in his daily life. He is consistent in his decisions, both personal and business, that they are rooted in faith and integrity."

so basically Benson decided to hand control over to his wife and to leave the granddaughter Rita out of the family empire, so she is suing

I just broke the news of Rita's ousting to Brees, who said he

hadn't heard. Said Gayle Benson is one of the sweetest

people he's ever met.

I'm cool with this.

 

Not gonna lie, I googled this Rita, 5/10 would bang.

Big winners in Saints power struggle are Loomis and Payton.

Had Rita Benson taken over their days were numbered. Bad

blood there...

Apparently Rita is a nutjob FWIW

Ha. 

 

Saints 'aints Saints no more.

Wtf? What a mess

[gettlemanjack]

so basically the granddaughter Rita was to take control when Benson died, now it will be his wife

ownership was supposed to go to daughter Renee and grandkids Rita and Ryan. Now all three are out and all ownership is going to the wife

"Rita Benson LeBlanc, Renee LeBlanc and Ryan LeBlanc were removed from the Saints' staff directory Wednesday night"

also the granddaughter Rita has been fired from the organization (she was vice chairman of the board):

"Benson LeBlanc's offices at the teams' Metairie headquarters recently have been vacated and her company-issued Mercedes-Benz and cell phone have been seized."

the daughter Renee and grandson Ryan have also been removed:

"Renee and Ryan Benson also have been shut out from Benson's operations. Their offices at the team's facility on Airline Drive have been closed."

Although his daughter and two grandkids are out, he says they will still be taken care of:

"My family, just as they have been for their entire lives, will be taken care of."
