Lawyer Buddy Dallas says it is merely for 'legal reasons' and is not a 'reflection on her as a person'.He and Brown's accountant hired security to lock up the estate after Brown's death. The couple reportedly hadn't seen each other in weeks, and Tomi has another home just blocks away where she had been spending a lot of her time with the couple's five year old son.
"It's not intended and I hope not interpreted to be an act of unkindness or an act of a lack of sympathy," Dallas said.
"Ms. Hynie has a home a few blocks away from Mr. Brown's home where she resides periodically when she is not with Mr. Brown. She is not without housing or home."
However, Hynie told a reporter, "This is my home," Hynie told a reporter outside the James Brown estate. "I don't have any money. I don't have anywhere to go."
Hynie also added that she had talked to James on the phone and he had told her, "I love you, baby, and I'll see you soon."
The couple was married in 2001 but Hynie hadn't yet been divorced from the man she was previously married to, causing her and Brown's marriage to be null and void. She was Brown's fourth wife.
Brown was arrested in 2004 for assault and threatening to kill Hynie.
Dallas said that Brown's estate was left for his children. He did not elaborate further on Brown's final wishes.
