Minnelli's ex asks judge to set aside prenup POSTED: 4:41 p.m. EDT, September 11, 2006 NEW YORK (AP) -- David Gest, the estranged husband of Liza Minnelli, asked a judge to set aside his prenuptial agreement with the star, the latest development in their lengthy divorce battle. Gest's lawyers told State Supreme Court Judge Harold B. Beeler that Minnelli hid the fact that she was infected with herpes, was an alcoholic and prone to violence. Had Gest known, the lawyers argued, he never would have entered into the prenuptial agreement. Minnelli's lawyer, Israel Rubin, refused to comment on specific allegations. "This whole thing is ridiculous," he said. Gest's lawyers on Friday asked Beeler to order a trial to determine the validity of the prenuptial agreement. Minnelli and Gest married March 16, 2002, at a celebrity-studded ceremony with Michael Jackson as best man and Elizabeth Taylor as maid of honor. They separated in July 2003 and filed for divorce later that year. The prenup request is the latest in a series of lawsuits and accusations traded between the former couple that have become tabloid fodder. Most recently, Minnelli argued in court papers that Gest and her former bodyguard, who claims she forced him to have sex with her to keep his job, joined forces to attack and embarrass her publicly. She claimed the bodyguard, M'Hammed Soumayah, 56, breached a confidentiality agreement by giving Gest information about her. Soumayah filed a $100 million lawsuit against Minnelli, claiming she assaulted him. Gest, 52, has filed his own $10 million lawsuit against Minnelli, saying that during the 15 months they lived together after they were married she repeatedly beat him so badly that he suffered nerve damage in his head. Minnelli has denied the claims. http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/09/11/minelli.gest.ap/index.html
probably met at STD+ "AA" or "NA" meeting. so how bad do you think it would be w/o the prenup? this one has definite entertainment value im guessing she says he had to have brain damage in the first place to marry lia "Trainwreck" Minnelli in the first palce.
Well, a weak man deserves to be beaten by woman. Imagine if you need to defend the country, don't count on this kind of man.
Even a strong man can be beaten by a woman thanks to a good lawyer, and the laws that are usually at woman side in case of divorce....
"...Have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find. If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal. If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel..." -Mungo Jerry 1970- They summed it up pretty well.
If there is the slightest indication that a woman judges you upon what you do or how much you make, then get back in the car and keep driving. Believe me, that will be the beginning to a spectacular end.
QQQ and other bitter divorcees. Here is my solution to divorce instead of a prenuptual. After all, prenuptuals are violated all the time. Read the case law if you don't believe it. So instead, I recommend setting up an International Business oversees in a place like Panama. Transfer all your significant business assets over including your trading funds, properties etc. The Panama business will be registered under a board of directors who are unrelated to you, while simultaneously the board of directors will sign over the stock of the company to you. Thus your name never appears as owner of the business, yet you own it. This will be a double edged sword. First you will avoid paying U.S. taxes, and secondly your wife can't take away something you don't own. Hell put your Cali house, car and anything else you can think of under the business name and she won't get squat. Half of zero is still zero. Worred about the kids getting money? Setup a trust held by your company that disperses monthly funds to you children. Inevitably the State will try to come after you. But you don't own any assets, have no bank accounts and basically are a non-entity. You own nothing yet control everything. Nice.
Who gives a shit what some broad thinks? All she is after is your money and all she should be to you is a sperm depository. The sooner you get that through your head, the sooner you'll be getting more ass than a toilet seat. Show them the money, just don't give it to them. And if you really want to flip them, when she asks you "what do you do?" tell them "you wouldn't understand"...
