Marilyn Mansons keyboard player is suing him, saying that Manson pissed away the bands money on more creepy crap for himself, including "sick and disturbing purchases of Nazi memorabilia and taxidermy (including the skeleton of a young Chinese girl)". Page Six says:
Keyboard man Stephen "Pogo" Bier accuses the Goth rocker and his "musketeers" (his business manager, lawyer and the band's manager) of assisting Manson "in filching millions of dollars the band made over the years." According to an e-mail sent to us that was approved by Bier's lawyer, Keith Fink, Manson promised Bier "partnership proceeds" from the band in 1993, but then splurged on "a multimillion-dollar home, had a lavish wedding in Ireland, gave an engagement ring to Dita von Teese" and collected Nazi artifacts and taxidermy. When Bier asked for the "partnership proceeds," Manson "devised a campaign to drive Bier out of the band and rob him of his entitlement," the e-mail states.
I had to walk around with my hands over my head for a while to catch my breath after reading about Mansons shocking antics. I'm real uptight, and his unique "in your face" style is so shocking and nonconformist, it startled me. I can't handle his individuality. He even wears black lipstick and eyeliner! Imagine that, a gentleman who wears lipstick! This is highly irregular! What will he do next? I bet it's shocking!
(oh, and considering he has the same haircut and shade of lipstick as half the old ladies in Miami, he really might wanna reconsider who he's modeling his tough guy theatrics after.)
