Levon Helm’s daughter, singer-songwriter Amy Helm, is accused of causing at least $2 million in damages to Levon Helm Studios in a new lawsuit tied to the ongoing dispute over the Woodstock venue.
The suit claims that a recent review of LHS’ financial records “uncovered millions of dollars of self-dealing transactions apparently authorized by Amy, or for her benefit.”
Furthermore, the suit claims that Helm “forced LHS to repay” a small business loan taken out during the pandemic to support her touring company.
Helm is also accused of taking out nearly $200,000 in “loans” from the Estate of Levon Helm, including an LLC set up to distribute royalties from Levon’s final three albums.
According to the suit, Helm has continued to harm LHS since her ouster by publicizing the dispute and allegedly encouraging artists and vendors “to cancel contracts with LHS.”
