Marilyn Manson sued for buying Dita Von Teese engagement ring using Band Money
I don’t really know their music, but I was never into the whole concept of naming your band members after serial killers. So it doesn’t surprise me all that much that Marilyn Manson’s bandmate, Stephen Bier Jr. is suing him for $20 mil. The couple did get a divorce. But before the relationship went sour, Manson managed to give Von Teese what is described as “a 7-carat, antique, European round-cut diamond engagement ring from William Harold Jewelers in Newport Beach. And therein lies the problem. Did Manson use band funds to pay for the $150,000 dollar ring? The courts will decide…
Oh, Manson also bought a bunch of Nazi memorabilia, allegedly with the same funds in question.
Here’s a picture of the ring:
