— A federal judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed by Martha Hart in its entirety against the McMahons. Hart asserted that WWE and McMahon used the image of her late husband, Owen Hart, in videos and other materials without her permission and despite her objections. Judge Stefan Underhill ruled last week that WWE did retain a right to Owen’s career, but denied WWE’s motion to dismiss a claim related to personal family photos.
The judge also stated that there was no evidence Linda McMahon knew about the photos. Finally, the judge also allowed Hart’s claim for unpaid royalties against WWE to proceed.
