I believe the answer is:

disown

(Other definitions for disown that I've seen before include "Repudiate or refuse to acknowledge a relationship" , "Refuse to have anything to do with" , "Repudiate - disinherit" , "Refuse to be associated with (something/someone)" , "Repudiate, disclaim" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
