Marilyn Manson's ex-keyboardist is suing for $20 million breach of contract.
Stephen Gregory Bier Jr., known to fans by the shock pseudonym of Madonna Wayne Gacy, is suing his former employer. According to MTV, Bier claims that Manson was using the band's money to fund his excessive lifestyle. The suit alleges Manson used the group's funds to buy, among other things, Nazi paraphernalia, African masks made from human skin, and the full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl.Bier is claiming that items were purchased from the whole band's fund, yet Manson told them the money was coming out of profits from his autobiography 'The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell'. Alongside knickknacks like SS typewriters, swastika tiles and Nazi coat hangers, Manson apparently used the group's funds to sustain his cocaine and Vicodin habit as well as the resulting $3,000-per-day rehab stint.
Manson responded in an MTV interview, saying that while he hasn't seen the compete suit, "The fact that he's claiming that I've treated him unfairly, financially, is really ridiculous." He continued, "And I would never spend my money on a Chinese girl skeleton. That would be crossing the line. It's a Chinese boy, for the record."
