LOS ANGELES: Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars is being sued for $US10 million ($NZ14.42 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.
Another Motley Crue band member in trouble???? Say it ain't so!
OMG is that,,Johnny Gage from Squad 51?
He was on some soaps for awhile wasn't he?
Reneged on a promise to take care of her for life?
I'm preparing a similar lawsuit against Social Security in 35 years.
I say give her the money--any woman that would have sex with Mick Mars definitely earned every penny of it.
He should be happy for the chance to fornicate with a mug as ugly as mine!
I had the biggest crush on him when I was a little girl.
lol - we thought the same thing!
OK. Take care of her is one thing. Divide property equally is quite another. What has she done to contribute to "half" of the property. Sorry, I'm big on women's rights but this is exploitation.
BTW, The "Crew" rocks!
Motley Crue's Mick Mars
You're kidding.
/falling dollar?
Well, that was probably a dumb move.
But, then, we live in a society where only men, pretty much, are castigated for dumb moves.

It's Mötley Crüe, not Motley Crue. So there.
Not Mick Mars, Randolph Mantooth. Mick Mars is so... corpse-like.
That picture looks like a version of Cher....
