It is reported that Marilyn Manson’s former keyboardist is suing him. He says that Manson has kept millions of dollars that were supposed to be shared and bought items that included a handbag that was owned by Hitler’s girlfriend and a skeleton in a wheelchair.
The keyboardist, Stephen Bier, said that a partnership was signed in 1993 by the band to share the profits. Manson tried to trick Bier into thinking the band wasn’t making much money. He thought differently when Manson would go on shopping binges. He claims Manson owes him more than $20 million dollars.
He also says Manson bought a $2 million dollar home, bought Nazi paraphernalia, a handbag once owned by Eva Braun, African masks made with human skin, a full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl, the full skeleton of a 17th-century male in a wheelchair, and he spent money on drugs. He also spent money on a low-budget movie production, a Los Angeles gallery to display his artwork, and a $450,000 engagement ring and wedding to burlesque performer Dita Von Teese. Since then, Dita has filed for divorce.
Bier says that Manson and the band’s lawyer and business managers cut off his salary payments and band credit card access and refuses to pay his medical bill caused by work-related problems.
