Liza Minnelli's Almost-Ex-Husband Sues Her, Claiming She Beat Him

[sujan]

David Gest sued Liza Minnelli yesterday, claiming that while they lived together she went into numerous alcohol-induced rages and beat him so badly that he "suffers from virtually constant, unrelenting pain" in his head.

According to Mr. Gest's lawsuit, Ms. Minnelli gained physical strength from drinking vodka, and would routinely turn that strength against him with her fists. Mr. Gest's complaint, filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, details several instances in which he says he was beaten. The couple has been separated since July, and Mr. Gest's lawyer, Raoul L. Felder, expects that formal divorce papers will be filed within a week or so.

4. I could believe it

I remember how she was determined to evict her aged stepmother from some property that she wanted, it was a pitiful sight. :-(

Didn't he even give Liza away?

I feel sorry for her--she's a pathetic creature--he's a hustler.

7. Why do we have to air the rantings of the mentally deranged?

At a minimum, these two have tremendous psychosocial disorders... Get 'em off the news pages and let them (or their family/friends) try to deal with their own issues....Sheesh.
