That previously reported $10 million civil assault lawsuit brought against Liza Minelli by estranged hubby David Gest has been thrown out of court. Gest, of course, claimed that the singer/actress had beaten him so badly during an alcoholic rage that he had to go to hospital.
State Supreme Court Justice Jane Solomon, however, granted Minnelli's motion to dismiss the lawsuit because of conflicting evidence regarding Gest's injuries, adding that the only issues to be addressed in court are those of Minelli's claims that Gest misappropriated her earnings, claims which Gest, of course, denies.
The pair's divorce case, a separate legal debacle altogether, is pending.
