STAR TREK NICHELLE’S DYING REGRET!

-

TRAILBLAZI­NG Star Trek icon Nichelle Nichols, 89, went to her grave devastated a tragic tug-of-war between son Kyle Johnson and exmanager Gilbert Bell, sources dish.

Bell claims Johnson, 70, put the dementia-addled sci-fi star under a conservato­rship against her will to grab her $10 million fortune. But Nichelle’s son insists he was keeping hangers-on from taking advantage of the living legend, who’d been confined to a wheelchair! Their dispute is scheduled to go to trial in October.

As Star Trek’s Lt. Uhura, Nichelle was one of the first Black women to play a lead TV role and was adored by fans. But an insider spills, “This horrible saga cast a shadow over her final years.”

Nichelle died July 30 in New Mexico’s Silver City.
