• A representative for Love disputed Jardine’s account, saying “That’s not true” and stressing Love’s focus on uplifting audiences, stewardship of the catalog and philanthropic work.
• Rolling Stone reported that formal eulogies were delivered by biographer David Leaf and editor Jason Fine, with additional speeches at a repass at the Beverly Hills Hotel by Love and Jardine.
• Jardine said he opened his own remarks with a joke nodding to Love’s claim and emphasized that his focus was on honoring Brian Wilson.
• The public back-and-forth revives a decades-long rift and past court fights over the Beach Boys name, with no indication of reconciliation or new legal steps.
