Billionaire Drama: David Geffen vs. Younger Husband in Shocking Divorce Battle
SHOCKING DIVORCE FILING ROCKS BILLIONAIRE'S WORLD: DAVID GEFFEN ACCUSED OF ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUNGER HUSBAND
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, billionaire mogul David Geffen has been accused by his estranged husband Donovan Michaels of engaging in an abusive and controlling relationship that spanned several years. The explosive allegations have left the entertainment industry reeling, with many calling for Geffen to step down from his lucrative positions.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Michaels alleges that he was forced into a lifestyle of luxury and excess by Geffen, but at a terrible cost. The 32-year-old model-turned-go-go-dancer claims that he was subjected to physical and emotional abuse, including being forced to take drugs, having his body hair lasered off, and being ordered to undergo painful cosmetic treatments.
The allegations against Geffen paint a picture of a controlling and manipulative relationship, with the 82-year-old mogul using his wealth and power to exploit Michaels. The younger man claims that he was targeted by Geffen because of his vulnerable background as a marginalized young gay black man who spent much of his life in foster care.
The pair met on SeekingArrangements.com, a dating website often used by rich people looking for younger partners, in 2016. Geffen allegedly paid Michaels $10,000 for sex on their first night together, setting the tone for their tumultuous relationship.
Michaels' lawsuit claims that Geffen commanded him to use drugs like cocaine and molly (MDMA) alongside the entertainment mogul's friends on his 450-foot superyacht, The Rising Sun. The suit also accuses Geffen of enjoying physical dominance over his partners, causing Michaels to relive childhood trauma and develop digestive issues, headaches, and a desire to isolate himself.
The complaint further alleges that Geffen told Michaels 'where to go, what to wear, what to read, what to watch, and what to say.' The billionaire record executive is also accused of making Michaels undergo painful cosmetic treatments, including laser hair removal and dental procedures. Even minor imperfections, like an ingrown hair, were met with anger and criticism from Geffen.
Michaels claims that he was 'awestruck' by Geffen's philanthropic work and wealthy lifestyle, but ultimately became a "private sexual object and a public prop" used to show off Geffen's self-proclaimed altruism. The younger man alleges that he was transported across the globe as Geffen's paid sex worker, with the mogul using his wealth and influence to silence him.
The lawsuit claims that Michaels' attempts to renegotiate their relationship were met with rejection by Geffen, who cut him off financially and demanded a divorce after years of being "a prop in Geffen's theater of virtue." The complaint states that Michaels was left without a home when Geffen ordered him to vacate their New York property while attending the Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez wedding in Venice.
Geffen's attorney, Patty Glaser, has denied all allegations, calling them "false and pathetic." However, sources close to the matter suggest that the lawsuit may be just the tip of the iceberg, with several witnesses coming forward to corroborate Michaels' claims.
The drama unfolding in the Geffen-Michaels divorce battle is a stark reminder of the darker side of wealth and power. As the entertainment industry grapples with the allegations, one thing is clear: David Geffen's reputation will never be the same again.
