Armstrong, 33, a onetime porn star who generally goes by the title Donovan Michaels, accused Geffen, 83, of grooming him, controlling him and pressuring him to make use of medicine at events aboard his large yacht, which has ferried the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Bezos and Goldman Sachs chairman Lloyd Blankfein. In his countersuit, an indignant Geffen fired again that Armstrong had run up tons of of hundreds of {dollars} on Geffen’s accounts for clothes and beauty procedures — and within the marriage’s closing months, a small fortune on male escorts. Each side emphatically denied the opposite’s claims.

Whereas that will look like a tidy sum, even a few of Geffen’s buddies joke that it most likely wasn’t sufficient for placing up with the famously demanding billionaire.
