She was formerly a model and car saleswoman.[5] Shortly after meeting Wilson in 1986, she helped instigate the court-ordered separation between him and his therapist Eugene Landy.[5] Ledbetter's account of these events were later dramatized for the 2014 biopic Love & Mercy, in which Ledbetter is portrayed by Elizabeth Banks.[7] Personal life and careerWhile working at a car dealership in 1986, Ledbetter met Brian Wilson while he was a patient under Eugene Landy's 24-hour therapy.[5] Six months after meeting Wilson, she had reported Landy to the state's attorney general for ethical violations, but they informed her that nothing could be done without the cooperation of Wilson's family. Three years into their relationship, Landy ordered Wilson to sever ties with Ledbetter.[9] After Landy was struck with a 1991 court order which barred him from contacting Wilson,[6] Wilson and Ledbetter reconnected and were married on February 6, 1995.[7] Ledbetter went on to become Wilson's manager in 1999, a job which she says is "basically negotiating, and that's what I did every single day when I sold cars."[5] In 2015, Wilson credited Ledbetter for assisting with some of the production of his album No Pier Pressure.[8] Love & MercyHalf of the 2014 Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy is set from Ledbetter's point of view in the 1980s, with Elizabeth Banks playing Ledbetter. Love & Mercy screenwriter Oren Moverman stated that virtually every event in the film's 1980s portions was sourced from conversations he had with Ledbetter.[9] She said after watching the film: "I remembered that what Landy did to Brian was even worse. You don’t get a sense of it in the movie, but it happened on a daily basis, for years.[10] DisputesIn the mid 1990s, Wilson collaborated with multi-instrumentalist Andy Paley on tracks earmarked for a potential Beach Boys comeback album. In 1998, the magazine Uncut wrote that Brian was "coerced away from Andy Paley (by wife Melinda, according to observers), toward [producer] Joe Thomas."[11] Rolling Stone{{'}}s Jason Fine reported: "She calls the Paley–Wilson material 'great therapy' but says his vocals are not up to par and believes the production isn't good enough to be released commercially. As is often the case with Brian's career, Brian doesn't seem to be the one calling the shots."[5] In 1999, a suit was filed against Thomas, seeking damages and a declaration which freed Wilson to work on his next album without involvement from Thomas.[12] Thomas reciprocated with a suit citing that Ledbetter "schemed against and manipulated" him and Wilson. The case was settled out of court.[13] According to Beach Boy Mike Love, the group's 50th anniversary reunion tour involving all original surviving members was ended prematurely partly due to interference from Ledbetter.[14][15] He expressed disappointment that he was never allowed to collaborate with Wilson for the album That's Why God Made the Radio, as had been promised, and that during the performances, she attempted to install an autotune unit on each of the band members' microphones. This was the beginning of some backstage quarrels between Love and Ledbetter, which ended with him stipulating that she be banned from rehearsals until the tour was over.{{Sfn|Love|2016|p=398-99}} References1. ^{{cite journal|last1=Holdship |first1=Bill |title=Lost in Music |journal=MOJO |date=August 1995 |url=http://www.petsounds.com/mojo1.pdf |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/19980630153958/http://www.petsounds.com/mojo1.pdf |archivedate=June 30, 1998 }} {{Brian Wilson}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ledbetter, Melinda}}2. ^{{cite web|title=United States Public Records, 1970-2009|url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KTCT-X4X|publisher=FamilySearch|accessdate=November 8, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Gilstrap|first1=Peter|title=Brian and Melinda Wilson on unflinching biopic Love & Mercy: "It had to be factual"|url=http://www.laweekly.com/music/brian-and-melinda-wilson-on-unflinching-biopic-love-and-mercy-it-had-to-be-factual-5662997|publisher=LA Weekly|date=June 8, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Visci|first1=Marissa|title=Here’s What’s Fact and What’s Fiction in Love & Mercy, the New Biopic About Brian Wilson|url=http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/06/10/love_mercy_fact_vs_fiction_how_the_new_brian_wilson_biopic_starring_john.html|publisher=Slate|date=June 10, 2015}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite journal|last1=Fine|first1=Jason|title=Brian Wilson's Summer Plans|journal=Rolling Stone|date=July 8, 1999|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/brians-summer-plans-19990708}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Mason|first1=Anthony|authorlink1=Anthony Mason (journalist)|title=Brian Wilson's summer of milestones|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/brian-wilsons-summer-of-milestones/|publisher=CBS News|date=July 19, 2015}} 7. ^{{cite journal|title=The Hatchet Will Be Buried in Sand|journal=New York Magazine|date=February 6, 1996|volume=28|issue=6|page=14|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cOQCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA14&|publisher=New York Media, LLC|issn=0028-7369}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Amarosi|first1=A.D.|title=Wouldn't it be nice...|url=http://www.icondv.com/interviews/brian-wilson-06-2015.html|publisher=Icon|date=June 2015}} 9. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Weintraub|first1=Steve|title=LOVE & MERCY Screenwriter Oren Moverman on Brian Wilson's Mythology, Fact vs. Fiction, and More|url=http://collider.com/love-and-mercy-oren-moverman-on-making-a-cinematic-brian-williams-biopic/|publisher=Collider|date=June 6, 2015|deadurl=no|archiveurl=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20150607113013/http://collider.com/love-and-mercy-oren-moverman-on-making-a-cinematic-brian-williams-biopic/|archivedate=June 7, 2015|df=mdy-all}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Phull|first1=Hardeep|title=How one quack doctor almost destroyed Brian Wilson’s career|url=https://nypost.com/2015/06/04/how-one-quack-doctor-almost-destroyed-brian-wilsons-career/|work=New York Post|date=June 4, 2015}} 11. ^{{cite journal|last1=Lester|first1=Paul|title=The High Llamas: Hump Up the Volume|url=http://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Article/the-high-llamas-hump-up-the-volume|work=Uncut|date=June 1998}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=Bad Vibrations: Brian Wilson Sues Collaborator|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bad-vibrations-brian-wilson-sues-collaborator-19990824|publisher=Rolling Stone|date=August 24, 1999}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Brian Wilson Settles Suit With Former Partner|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/brian-wilson-settles-suit-with-former-partner-20000718|publisher=Rolling Stone|date=July 18, 2000}} 14. ^{{cite web|author1=CBS News|title=Beach Boys' Mike Love opens up relationship with cousin Brian Wilson|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/beach-boys-mike-love-opens-up-drama-with-cousin-brian-wilson/|website=CBS|date=September 15, 2016}} 15. ^{{cite book|ref=harv|last=Love|first=Mike|authorlink=Mike Love|title=Good Vibrations: My Life as a Beach Boy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ioG0CwAAQBAJ|year=2016|publisher=Penguin Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-698-40886-9}} 8 : American women in business|Living people|American female models|Brian Wilson|American salespeople|Wilson family (The Beach Boys)|Place of birth missing (living people)|1946 births |
