The keyboardist Stephen Bier, also known as Madonna Wayne
Gacy, has filed a $20 million lawsuit against the strange looking singer Brian
Warner, publicly known as Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Manson’s former keyboardist
is accusing the singer of underpaying him, although he has been spending
important amounts of money on a strange range of personal objects.
The keyboardist has said that Manson has bought such objects
as Nazi memorabilia including some swastika wall tiles, Eva Braun’s handbag and
not only, from millions of dollars that were meant to be shared with the band.
Manson has allegedly also bough “African masks made of human skin, the full
skeleton of a four-year-old Chinese girl, and the full skeleton of a 17th-century
male in a wheelchair”.
Anyway, Madonna Wayne Gacy has not filed the suit because he
is upset with the singer’s bizarre ways of spending money. He has become mad
with the fact that this money should have been in fact shared with him.
"Because of Manson and others' fraudulent conduct, Bier
has spent almost two decades working for one of the world's most popular rock
bands, that has made millions of dollars in profit, and now had almost nothing
to show for it," the suit reads.
The keyboardist has included in Manson’s list of spending
his money a movie’s production, a drug-treatment, an art gallery in Los Angeles and the
singer’s engaging and wedding to Dita Von Teese. Despite of the fact that
Marilyn Manson and his band’s mates signed a partnership agreement in 1993
promising to share the band’s profits, the singer has seemed to profit of
millions of dollars on his own.
The band’s former keyboardist has also said that Manson and
the band’s business managers have cut off his salary payments and band credit
card access, while also refusing to pay the medical bills for work-related
problems.
The suit is seeking an unspecified amount in damages, along
with any lost funds and bonuses.
The singer has called the keyboardist’s accusations
ridiculous, ironically saying in an interview for MTV: "And I would never
spend my money on a Chinese girl skeleton. That would be crossing the line.
It's a Chinese boy, for the record."
