Mindy McCready’s Gag Order Request Denied by Judge

A judge did not grant Mindy McCready’s request for a court order to stop her mother from talking to the press .

The star, was reportedly found unconscious at her mom’s home in Fort Myers, Florida on Tuesday morning, May 25.  Mindy has a history of alcohol and drug abuse.

Gayle Inge, Mindy’s mother called for help, implying the singer had tried to commit suicide.

The singer’s representative, Brent Young,  explained McCready simply experienced a bad reaction to the pain pills she had been advised to take after breaking her toe on Sunday.

McCready filed legal action against her mother. She claims that  Inge is accusing her of trying to commit suicide so as to ruin her chances of having custody of her son. McCready’s attorney James Moon says, “The reason we were requesting a gag order against Gayle Inge is really obvious.”

“I think she’s given five or six stories now. First, it’s an overdose, then it’s a suicide, then she’s retracting those statements. Enough’s enough, basically.”

But the judge cleared the singer’s request to issue an emergency gag order against Inge, as well as her bid to swap her mother’s custody rights over her four-year-old son Zander to her father, Tim. The judge has kept the option open for an appeal at a later date.

Moon adds, “We kind of expected the judge’s ruling to deny both. But we wanted to get the point out to everybody that Mindy’s trying to do everything to get her son back and is making great strides. And we wanted to get the point out to everybody that there is a little kid involved here.”

McCready was not able to gain custody of Zander in 2007 when she was imprisoned for violating probation after assaulting her mom in a fight over the singer’s alcohol and drug addictions. She was given consent to reopen custody arrangements last week.
