Motley Crue's Mick Mars



LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars is being sued for $10 million in palimony by a former girlfriend who has accused him of reneging on a promise to take care of her for life.

According to the lawsuit filed in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, the woman, Robbie Mantooth, said she met Mars in 1990 and the two became lovers. She said she gave up her career as a documentary filmmaker and moved into the heavy metal guitarist's Malibu home with him.

She said Mars promised her repeatedly that he would always provide for her financially and that the couple had agreed to divide all their property if they split up.

Their relationship ended in December 2004 and Mantooth said Mars denied there was any oral agreement between them and had given her no financial support.

Mantooth is asking a judge to award her half of the rocker's property as well as monthly support and damages.

A representative for Mars could not be reached for comment. <end>

OMG - this is crazy! I love Mick! TG the Crue is back in action. If she was such a career oriented woman to begin with, she should have never given up her job. Crazy woman! NEVER believe a man! :) Is CA a common law state like PA? She may wind up getting a fair share anyway.

There's no reason for him to pay just because she was dumb enough to quit her job. When are people gonna stop trying to milk other people out of their money? It's just case after case. :hitout:

Poor Mick! Some people are just sue-happy. Look what happened to Kobe Bryant, and countless other celebrities. What can celebrities do to protect themselves from this?

Should have gotten it in writing !

Stupid woman. Never, never, never, never believe anything a man tells you. Especially if he wants to or is, sleeping with you.
