  Children&apos;s Gofundme Link: <a href="https://gofund.me/84f921a1e">https://gofund.me/84f921a1e</a><br>Following the passing of Harold&apos;s Chicken CEO Kristen Pierce-Sherrod, questions surrounding her estate, business interests, and the future ownership of the iconic Harold&apos;s Chicken brand have sparked a dispute between her children and her widower, Vincent Sherrod. Reports indicate that a contested will and competing claims over the business have become key issues in ongoing probate proceedings.<br><br>For decades, Harold&apos;s Chicken has been more than a restaurant chain. It has been a cultural institution in Chicago and a symbol of Black entrepreneurship and generational wealth.<br><br>Chapters:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I">00:00</a> Introduction: Harold&apos;s Chicken Family Feud<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=160">02:40</a> Harold Pierce &amp; the Rise of Harold&apos;s Chicken Shack<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=430">07:10</a> Kristen Pierce-Sherrod: The Harold&apos;s Chicken Heiress<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=605">10:05</a> Vincent Sherrod, Marriage &amp; Business Ventures<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=1240">20:40</a> Kristen Pierce-Sherrod&apos;s Final Months<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=1500">25:00</a> Guardianship, Illness &amp; Estate Decisions<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=1835">30:35</a> The Harold&apos;s Chicken Will Controversy<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=2005">33:25</a> Lori Lightfoot Joins the Legal Battle<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=2115">35:15</a> Children vs. Husband: The Probate Fight<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2WfrVTu-2I&amp;t=2295">38:15</a> Outro: Thanks to Our Supporters, Disclaimer &amp; Credits<br><br>Sources:<br>Chicago Tribune<br>Yahoo News<br>ABC7 Chicago<br>NewsOne<br>Chicago Crusader<br>People Magazine<br>CBS News<br>Harold’s Chicken Corporate<br>Black Enterprise<br>Harold’s Chicken Instagram<br>The Black Millionaire Podcast<br><br><br>Please watch with care and comment with love 💜 <br>[SN: Harold’s Chicken Shack doesn’t publish its net worth because it’s a privately held family company, but business trackers estimate $30M–$71.8M in annual revenue, and franchise applicants must have $175K in net worth and $300K in liquid assets (sources: Dun &amp; Bradstreet, FranchiseGrade, Entrepreneur). Also, Kristen noted that although she formally took over the business in 2000, she and her mother worked side‑by‑side until her mother passed on January 21, 2003, in Beaverville, Illinois. Willa Pierce ran and expanded following her husband and founder Harold Pierce&apos;s death in 1988.]

  This dude is a absolute bum. Don&apos;t take your foot off his neck. Trying to steal a family&apos;s legacy is low as it gets.

  I’m trying to figure out how this woman went from healthy to sick to dead in such a short period of time. Her death needs to be investigated and the contents in her blood need to be examined NOW!

  That business belong to the kids. If he got all these other businesses going on. Why take another black man &apos;s legacy and leave his actual family out of it?

  Since he wasn&apos;t in the business before her passing, why would he be named as sole control once she passed. He&apos;s a liar!!

  Only the most evil person in the world would steal a family legacy from someone and attempt to wipe out the original true rightful heirs. Ladies this is what the Devil look like.
