From Rolling Stone July 2000:
...but last August, Brian's wife Melinda Wilson sued Thomas, claiming that the producer used his association with her husband to raise his industry profile and wrongfully enrich himself through his association with the former Beach Boy. Thomas ripped a lawsuit back at Mrs. Wilson alleging that she had "schemed against and manipulated" both himself and Brian.[/i][/color]
Why does the report state that "Brian's wife Melinda sued Thomas..."? Why doesn't it say "Brian sued Thomas..."?
