Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light, died in April. Unbeknown to the public, Kinkade was separated from his his wife. In addition, he was living with his mistress at the time of his death, Amy Pinto-Walsh. His wife, Nanette Kinkade, and the family trust filed for a restraining order against his mistress. The restraining order was filed to prevent his mistress from publishing materials about the late-painter and his family. In addition, it would prevent her from public attacking his wife, family, or any of his companies.
