Marilyn Manson accused of squandering money

Former keyboardist Stephen Bier has sued Marilyn Manson, claiming he failed to pay the band while spending millions on Nazi memorabilia, a house and a wedding.

Not the most surprising story we've ever published, a multi-million dollar artist squandering millions of dollars on nonsense, but here goes anyway. Marilyn Manson's former keyboardist, Stephen Bier, who filed a lawsuit against him two days ago (1 Aug), claims that Manson failed to pay his band while racking up a huge collection of Nazi memorabilia, a huge house, and splurging cash on a flash engagement ring and lavish wedding in Iceland for that Dita Von Teese woman, now his ex of course. Bier's lawyers claim that Manson 'flinched' "millions of dollar" from his band members over the past ten years, preferring to spend it fruitfully on himself.
