Marilyn Manson has apparently filed a motion with Los Angeles Superior Court judge Michael L. Stern requesting that all of his financial information to be kept secret in the on going legal battle with former keyboardist, Stephen "Madonna Wayne Gacy" Bier, who filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Manson in August 2007.
Bier, who claims Manson spent his royalties on African masks made of human skin, a full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl that Manson is said to have turned into a chandelier and another skeleton of a man in a wheelchair, is seeking $20 million dollars in damages. Manson countersued in December claiming that Bier did not fulfil his obligations to the band.
To move to keep Manson's financial information a secret is similar to one granted to Lindsay Lohan earlier this year in her lawsuit over a 2005 traffic accident. Manson's attorneys specifically requested the Lohan treatment from Stern, who served as judge in that case, as well.
"He's trying to hide his skeletons from you all," Bier's attorney, Keith A. Fink, said.
The case continues.
