  • Lawsuit

    Maines is being sued by a Arkansas man in December 2008 who claims that the singers' continuous insinuations that he was involved in his 8-year-old stepson's murder, along with two other boys in 1993, has caused him to suffer a loss of income and reputation. The man, Terry Hobbs, was never charged or implicated in the murders.TMZ: Maines Sued for Loud Mouth (December 5, 2008)

  • George Bush Controversy

    At a concert in London in 2003, on the eve of the Iraq War, Maines was quoted as saying that she was "...ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas." The comment was followed by a public backlash in the United States that included album boycotts and death threats. After a brief hiatus, the Dixie Chicks returned with the album Taking the Long Way which won five Grammys.
