Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has blasted his second ex-wife, Jo Wood, for auctioning off several of his personal belongings, including stage outfits, musical instruments, Rolling Stones memorabilia and art from his personal collection. The auction takes place on October 27, 2012, and is being handled by Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California. Even though a portion the auction's proceeds will reportedly benefit the charity MusiCares, Ronnie says he did not endorse the auction and he wants no part of it.
According to the BBC: "Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions announced the sale, saying: 'They are still very good friends and they just decided it was time to simplify and sell some of their property.'
But Ronnie Wood later released a statement through his publicist, saying he had declined the offer to participate. 'He is therefore shocked and disappointed that this auction is being misrepresented as a joint sale. This is not the case.'
"The statement continued: 'Ronnie feels saddened that Jo has taken this course of action and wants the public to know he has not teamed up with Jo on this outrageous sale. Jo Wood and her representatives were not immediately available to respond to the statement."
An announcement on the website for Julien's Auctions describes several of the items that are up for sale:

"The Wood collection features an assortment of memorabilia from the Rolling Stones, Faces, and Ronnie Wood’s solo career both as a musician and an artist, spanning over four decades. Some of the key music-related highlights of the Wood Collection are stage worn leather jackets and clothing. Also offered are two Ronnie Wood custom painted Fender Stratocasters, one with the body depicting a Rolling Stones recording session ($4,000-$8,000). For the Rolling Stones collectors there is tour clothing, backstage passes and tour ephemera from various Rolling Stones tours of the 1990’s and 2000’s, collectible Rolling Stones books, guitar picks, vinyl record albums, and other Rolling Stones memorabilia which Jo collected over the years. Other highlights include a Mick Jagger handwritten note to Wood ($200-$400), a twice signed Mick Jagger Rolling Stones poster ($400-$600), and a cardboard cutout in the form of a guitar body inscribed "To Ronnie from Keith,” describing a guitar Richards commissioned for Wood as a Christmas gift ($200-$300). Portraits of Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Bob Dylan are among some of the artwork offered by Wood, a celebrated visual artist and painter ($800-$1,200 each).
"The Wood collection also includes fine antiques, furniture and decorative art from Holmwood, the magnificent Surrey countryside estate shared by Ronnie and Jo Wood. The resplendent décor combined a modern Rock ‘n Roll aesthetic with stately 19th century antiques and fine art including an Erard harp ($4,000-$5,000), a Victorian Mahogany dining table ($4,000-$6,000), and a pair of Aubusson tapestry entre fenetres ($8,000-$10,000).

"The sale includes an array of decorative statues, masks and furnishings collected from all over the world during various Rolling Stones tours, along with a traveling case containing a double burner electric stove used to make family meals while on the road. Other unique offerings from this collection include a set of nine original John Lennon and Steven Verona cartoon drawings used in The Beatles’ first music video ($1,500-$2,500), a sterling silver Theo Fennell soda siphon ($8,000-$10,000), and a slot machine by Pierre Abel-Nau, circa 1913 ($3,000-$4,000)."

Jo, a former model whose maiden name is Karslake, got together with Ronnie in 1977, when he was still married to his first wife, Chrissie. (Ronnie and Chrissie divorced in 1978, after seven years of marriage. Chrissie died of a suspected Valium overdose in 2005.) Jo and Ronnie got married in 1985. They have two children together: Leah (born in 1978) and Tyrone (born in 1983). Ronnie's eldest child, Jesse, is from his first marriage. Jo's eldest child is a son named Jamie from a previous relationship.
In 2008, Ronnie left Jo for Ekaterina Ivanova, who was an 18-year-old waitress at the time. That relationship ended about a year later, shortly after Ivanova accused Ronnie of domestic abuse. (He was let off with a strong warning by law enforcement.)
In 2009, Jo filed for divorce. The divorce was finalized in 2011. Around the time the divorce was finalized, Ronnie commented to the media about Jo: "We're great pals."
Jo was a contestant on "Strictly Come Dancing" in 2009. She has launched a skin-care product line called Jo Wood Organics.
In early 2010, Ronnie entered rehab, and he has said in many interviews that he has stayed clean and sober ever since. From January 2010 to September 2011, he dated polo instructor/student Ana Araujo. After breaking up with Araujo, he had a brief fling with jewelry salesperson Nicola Sargent. Ronnie has been dating theatre producer Sally Humphreys since late 2011.
In August 2012, Jo announced that she is writing a tell-all memoir. HarperCollins will publish the book in 2013 on a date to be announced. The working title of the book is "Hey Jo."
Ronnie's own tell-all memoir, "Ronnie," was published in 2007.
