Ex-DL fave Jason Davis is dead to us

For a druggie, he didn't forget to eat.

No that was his brother Brandon Davis who called Lindsay a fire crotch.

Sad story, but I'm not surprised by this.

Sad he wasn't one of those people who got better looking as he aged

T&P, RIP.

I remember he had some kind of disgusting MRSA infection on his legs back when he was in the throes of addiction and almost died.

Isn't the Davis family wealth all gone now? Aren't they broke?

What did Perez Hilton used to call his brother? “Grease monkey”? Oh yeah.... Greasy Bear.

I miss the frivolous scandals of early to mid 2000s even with Bush the world was much simpler

The only character I can remember from Recess is the fat blond boy. I just Googled this man and, by coincidence, that is indeed the character he voiced. RIP.

All of the money and prestige the Davis’ enjoyed did nothing for their kids.

Did he ever redeem himself in any way?

R12 They said he got sober and was apart of some charity that helped people get and stay sober I think.

He had a fat ass, but he couldn’t live forever!

I thought Brandon Davis was the Firecrotch guy? Who’s this fat douche?

Brandon Davis is the fire crotch coiner. Jason Davis is his little brother.

Another Celebrity Rehab death, I wonder what number this makes it now.

R8 I seem to recall that Jason Davis' nickname was Gummi Bear.

Never realized he was on Recess.

I never knew he voiced a character on that show either. He was always referred to as a Hollywood billionaire oil heir. Which is also a lie. Because the Davis family does not have that kind of money anymore.

Another Dr. Drew success story.

Good hopefully his brother follows soon.

Anyone that associates with Paris Hilton is pure trash.

Amazing he survived this long. I remember in the Paris Hilton era driving in Santa Monica near the 3rd Street Promenade and his brother, Brandon Davis, was stumbling around in the middle of the street totally wasted. Tragic was stopped in both directions while he wandered dazed in the middle of the street. A combination of toxic privilege and living in LA is deadly. Not sure how any of those kids survive.

Yeah, Dr. Drew is becoming a bit of a grim reaper for pseudo-celebs

His brother must be thrilled! Even with the downturn in family fortunes, he gets more of whatever's left.

The Celebrity Rehab Curse is REAL.

We must all pray for Bai Ling (up on the roof).

This might turn out to be one of the most vicious Datalounge threads ever.

Related to clive davis? The ol closet case who kept Whitney cloeseted?

Wait, who died? Gummi Bear or Greasy Bear?

Regardless of history, it's sad to see someone die at 35

Weird. I thought he died a few years ago.

R28 Gummi

Wonder where Greasy Bear is now. He could have been hot if he cleaned up - which I assume he hasn’t.

R14 has me LMAO

I saw Greasy Bear, once, at the ArcLight, during the Paris-Lindsay heyday, and he was fucking hot, even though he was absolutely drenched in sweat. I’ve done All The Drugs and never found one that turned my skin into a fountain, so I’m thinking he must have some kind of glandular, rich people inbreeding malfunction.

I’m, frankly, shocked it took Gummi so long to kill himself. Procrastinator.

Jason was Gummi Bear the other one was Greasy (I think).

R35 are you having a stroke?

r36 no Jason's nick name was Gummi Bear. His brother Brandon was Greasy Bear -Brandon was the one who coined the phrase "Lindsay Lohan is a fire crotch."

R37, yes, all know this.

Brandon Davis aka Greasy Bear, looking somewhat less bloated and sweat drenched than usual.

He gets his brows done.

Fentanyl I'm sure.

[quote] Because the Davis family does not have that kind of money anymore.

The father was valued at $5.8billion in 2004 and the mother at $2.5 billion in 2006, I very much doubt they have lost too much since then.

Thoughts & Prayers

(and a side of fries)

When LA trash dies young it actually pleases me to no end.

Where’d all the family’s money go?

Kim Richards married into the family. That's how trashy the were.

R20 took the words right out of my mouth.

I once heard a rumor that Greasy was at an Oscar party and said such racist shit the host told him to leave.

Weren't there major rumors that one of them was gay (I think it was Gummi, not Greasy)?

Good. He was a waste of oxygen.

R42 You really need to go an do your research. Their mother almost lost her estate a few years back, because she couldn't pay the damn mortgage. I believe the house went into foreclosure? I can't really remember. But she was having some serious financial problems that TMZ covered.

These people do not have billions of dollars anymore. Those days are over. They lost a lot of that money over 20 years ago. Please go do your research.

These people are posers. Nothing but smoke and mirrors now. And don't believe that celebrity networth stuff. Most of it is just numbers plucked out of the sky.

Hopefully Greasy will kill himself now......two pieces of shit gone 😊

He was diabetic (type 1) on top of being an addict. Look no further.

I'm really surprised this didn't happen sooner. He's been in rough shape for a decade now. I never got the sense he was quite as odious as his brother Brandon, Greasy Bear, who is a racist piece of shit with no redeeming qualities that I've ever seen. So, I'll give Jason that.

Rest in peace. I had not heard of him or his brother before now, how is his brother racist? I found this old thread about him. R34 Doesn't meth make you sweat? Or lots of cocaine? Or withdrawl from opiates?

I am not surprised that this guy and his brother were apparently spoiled wealthy Jewish/Turkish kids in Los Angeles/Hollywood. I have no idea if their parents or they were practising Jews but both sets of grandparents on the mother's side were, and the mom married a Turksih guy. The wikipedia article on the grandfather even has revisionist victim history claiming he was not given a university scholarship because he was Jewish. Sure Jan.

Bae lost weight...and part of his lip.

he was handsome. the closet kills.

This made me very sad this morning when I heard the news. The guy was in the throws of addiction for much of his life and literally would walk around with open sores from his diabetes and injecting. I hope he is finally at peace. Very messed up family. A pure example of how money cannot always buy happiness.

R4: The guy is dead and you are worried the he didn't get better looking with age. You should check your priorities

A superficial life lived with no concern for the less-fortunate and never made a positive contribution to society. Better off dead - good riddance.

Didn't his brother die recently too? Or was that Harry Morton.

Yes that was Harry Morton, the pink taco guy and Lohans Ex boyfriend

[quote]Fentanyl I'm sure.

It always is, these days.

I always used to confuse his brother Brandon Davis with Joe Francis. Similar look and vibe. I think Francis was molested or something a few years back. I can't recall the details but it's was really weird.

It was not its was

Did anyone else see his Millionaire Matchmaker episode?

At one point they showed him wearing nothing but skivvies and his body was absolutely repulsive looking. I remember there was also a close-up shot of his hand which showed his dirty, jagged, unkempt, shit-caked fingernails.

He truly came across as an absolute bottomless pit of depression and despair.

[quote]. I think Francis was molested or something a few years back. I can't recall the details but it's was really weird.

he was robbed at gunpoint, kidnapped and held in the trunk of his own Bentley in 2004.

"A masked man walked in, put a gun to the back of my head," he says, reliving the moment with evident pain. "Probably about midnight. He says, 'You're home early.' He walked in with a mask right out of that room [the kitchen], put me on the floor right there. [Then] he moved me upstairs. Everything was duct-taped. My mouth was duct-taped. My face was duct-taped, and he would un-duct-tape me to get bank codes and wire things out of my accounts. He put a dildo next to me, and he's like, 'Oh, I'm not gay, I'm not gay.' And then he pulled my shorts a little bit." Did the assailant force the dildo on him, as reported? "There was no sex stuff whatsoever -- that was untrue."

Then nearly ten years later Francis was found guilty of imprisoning three women in his home.

I fucking hate Joe Francis. I'd like him to get exposed in an Epstein-esque downfall. If you google Joe Francis and LA Times there's a good longform article about him.

R67 was just coming on here to say this. Joe Francis is the biggest fucking scumbag and those were dark times when Paris Hilton, Greasy and Gummi, Lindsay and Brit were parading around LA with their beavers hanging out. I would KILL for a tell all book for those times. And just think, the [i] least [i] trashy of all of them was Kartrashian.

WHO in their right mind would roll with Joe Francis?

Was that the gummy bear one?

Fat bastard.

The left to be careful if they cremate him otherwise they’ll be a real grease fire

R68 "And just think the least trashy was.. Kartrashian. ". Yeah it's funny, I sometimes see comments online essentially saying that the nonstop Kardashian saturation makes them nostalgic for Paris and Co but I think people are suffering from selective memory. Not only were Paris, Francis et al just as bad as the Kardashians, they were in many ways considerably worse. Of course they all socialized together.

It is interesting how Kardashian came to surpass her former boss Paris. I'm sure Paris never expected that. There's something Shakespearean about it. If Shakespeare was set in modern LA and the actors all spoke in monosyllables.

[quote]Was that the gummy bear one?

Yes. Jason was Gummi Bear and Brandon was Greasy Bear.

Paris, Brandon, Kim, Kim Stewart, Nicole Richie, the recently deceased Morton guy, all grew up together in LA. They all went to the same schools, all of their parents hung out with each other etc.

They all came up with each other. So you know they know a lot about each other. I wonder what secrets their holding on to for each other? You know they all have seen a lot of crazy shit.

Glad I didn't grow up like that.

Michael K ran an item about his nasty infections in 2012.

R68, Kris Jenner is good friends with Joe Francis. That says everything. Vile people.

Will Mischa Barton be at the funeral? She's not real busy these days...

I bet all the other flesh eating viruses were jealous of the ones that had Jason Davis.

And OJ r76. Never forget, she was part of OJ’s party posse.

He was even more grotesque than his oily brother Brandon, and that's saying a lot. They both looked like Gypsy trash.

R65, No I did not; but don't they have makeup artists or clean people up before they go on camera for TV? Agreed R74. I am guessing their parents all slept with each other? Or used lots of cocaine together? Or that Bruce/Caitlyn was in a marriage of convenience?

I know people who have extremely wealthy parents, but they were raised right, and their parents forced them to get excellent grades in private schools and constantly study with tutors, volunteer/work, attend a university and graduate, work jobs, and not get out of control with drugs, booze, spending money like crazy, or jet setting. The same cannot be said for those people, the Kartrashians, or Cindy Crawford's kids.

Can you please go into more detail R68? Is it true Paris, Nicole R., and Kim were prostitutes? Or that they wound up doing sex for pay for lots of coke, or that they would get gang banged by rich Arabs like Lohan did or still does?

Paris apparently has older siblings who wanted nothing to do with the sex, drugs/party stuff and distanced themselves away from Paris completely. It was like this with one of Ozzy Osbourne's kids who worked a 9-5 job and did not get into reality TV, drugs, etc. like her siblings did.

R82 Huh? No she doesn't, Paris is the eldest in her family. Nicky is/was a famewhore too, but she bagged a Rothschild. I can't imagine the 2 younger brothers being up to much good in this world.

The Hilton brother had some sort of meltdown on a plane a few years ago. Trashy. I think they sent him off to rehab afterwards.

How sordid, I found this article about him from a few years ago.

Celebrity net worth numbers are hilariously wrong. The fact someone thinks they can google so and so net worth and think it’s spot on is ridiculous. Nobody knows what anyone’s real net worth is. It’s always less.

Vanity Fair published a great article about Marvin Davis, in 2005. Unfortunately its now behind a pay wall.

THE MAN WHO ATE HOLLYWOOD

A giant of a man, Marvin Davis lived a giant life. Rocky Mountain wildcatter turned Hollywood mogul, he treated Twentieth Century Fox as his personal playground, broke all the rules (even his own), and, when he died last year, left his family warring over what may be a vanished $5.8 billion fortune

When times get tough, some parents will tap their children’s savings accounts.

Others will shake up piggy banks – usually intending to pay them back.

For multibillionaires, this can happen on a much grander scale.

So goes this tale of billionaire Marvin Davis, the Denver oil baron who took Hollywood by storm in the 1980s and died at 79 on Sept. 25, 2004.

His eldest daughter, New York socialite Patricia Davis Raynes, 53, claims he looted hundreds of millions of dollars from her trust fund, which was set up under Colorado law by her wealthy paternal grandparents in 1967.

Raynes made these claims in a lawsuit recently filed in federal court in Los Angeles by powerhouse law firm Boies Schiller & Flexner. The suit – alleging “greed, theft and betrayal” – is against Raynes’ father, her mother, all four of her siblings and several family-owned trusts, trustees and companies.

She also claims her father died broke in a tangled web of massive debts.

That’s quite a contrast to a report in Forbes magazine before Davis’ death. Forbes ranked him America’s 30th-richest man, with a net worth of $5.8 billion.

Raynes alleges her father – who once owned 20th Century Fox, Aspen Skiing, Pebble Beach and the Beverly Hills Hotel – spent the last years of his life chasing deals he never intended to close just to maintain his ego and the “illusion” that he still controlled a vast financial empire.

Raynes claims much of the assets in her trust went to pay for these futile exploits. She also claims her father took money to support his lavish lifestyle and support his favored sons’ businesses.

Her family denies all of the claims.

The lawsuit, however, makes for such fascinating reading that it inspired a 14-page spread in the November issue of Vanity Fair, now on newsstands, titled “The Man Who Ate Hollywood.”

But did Marvin Davis – a giant of a man with an enormous appetite – really digest all of his enormous fortune?

The question may be difficult to answer since Davis left behind a byzantine network of trusts, partnerships between trusts, and companies owned directly and indirectly by these trusts.

His wife, Barbara, responded to the claim that her husband died broke through a spokesman in Vanity Fair: “If that was the case, then one would have to ask why Patty would file a lawsuit.”

Perhaps it’s the only thing she can do.

Raynes claims her father told her she was “a very wealthy girl,” with a trust worth more than $300 million. But after his death, she claims her mother told her, “You’re poor, Patty. You’re poor.”

Her father, who controlled her trust, blew “almost all” of it, Raynes alleges.

According to Raynes’ first amended complaint, filed this week, her father coerced her, using threats and violence, to sign documents revoking her trust.

The lawsuit is like a scene from “Dynasty,” the 1980s TV show that Davis’ life is said to have inspired. It reads: “Marvin told Patricia that if she refused to sign or simply insisted on showing the documents to an attorney, Marvin would never permit her to see her mother, brothers or sisters again, that he would make Patricia’s life ‘a living hell,’ that he would make the lives of Patricia’s own family ‘a living hell,’ and that he would tie her up in court for the rest of her life. Threats from Marvin Davis, a billionaire oilman who dined with kings and U.S. Presidents, who never shied from litigation, and who, as far as Patricia knew, had complete and unfettered control over all of her assets, could not be disregarded.

“Marvin backed up those emotional and financial threats with the additional threat of violence,” the lawsuit continues. “Over six foot three, and over 300 pounds, Marvin had a quick temper and had struck Patricia in the past.”

The lawsuit goes on to allege that “Marvin physically beat her to force her to sign the trust documents.”

Time will tell if these soap-operatic allegations will hold up in court.

But if they are true, it looks like ol’ Marvin sure knew how to shake the kid’s piggy bank.

Hollywood oil heir sued over alleged ‘fraudulent’ money transfers

Hollywood oil heir Brandon Davis and his brothers Jason and Alexander are being sued over alleged “fraudulent” money transfers made to them by their mother, Nancy Davis, before she filed for bankruptcy.

Nancy, daughter of late oil and entertainment billionaire Marvin Davis, filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and now the trustee for her estate claims “intentional fraudulent transfers” were made by her to her three sons following the 2010 sale of her trophy Bel-Air mansion for $12.2 million.

Trustee Howard M. Ehrenberg claims Nancy “made a number of transfers to or for the benefit of her adult children in exchange for little or no value.” Alex received $116,000 in a transfer ­described as a “marketing reimbursement.” Brandon got $30,000 and Jason got $135,000, according to the filing, which claims the transfers were done to “delay or defraud” Nancy’s creditors.

The suit adds the payments “were constructive fraudulent transfers and are recoverable [on behalf of creditors] under the Bankruptcy Code,” and an investigation is under way to see if Brandon received other “avoidable transfers.”

Stella Havkin, the lawyer for Nancy’s sons, responded that “the payments were made in accordance with the ordinary course of business.”

Marvin Davis, who once owned 20th Century Fox and the Beverly Hills Hotel, died at 79 in September 2004 with a fortune of $5.8 billion, according to Forbes. The family has bickered over the fortune since his death.

Nancy had previously claimed that her brother Gregg Davis cheated her and her socialite mother, Barbara Davis, out of millions by low-balling the value of family oil company Davis Petroleum in a forced bankruptcy sale. She tried to file a $50 million suit accusing Gregg of conspiring with Evercore, Bain and a former Goldman Sachs Group partner to buy the firm for $150 million when it was worth up to $1 billion. They denied it and a judge refused her permission to sue.

Lawyers for Ehrenberg didn’t get back to us. Havkin said, “My only comment is that the case against the Davis children has no merit.”

OT: Speaking of Joe Francis, is he still on the lam in Mexico, unable to return to the US due to multiple arrest warrants out for him?

What’s the story with their father and mother? Why did they both get only their mother’s last name?

[quote] What’s the story with their father and mother? Why did they both get only their mother’s last name?

Probably because of the weight the Davis name carried verses Zarif, their father’s name. And I say that not just because Marvin David weighed 300 lbs.

First that Harry Morton guy, now this.

I'm concerned.

TMZ reports that they found paraphernalia next to his body (burnt foil) so OD he did. Another Dr. Drew's success story.

Does it take a lot more dope to get someone as fat as he was high?

I’m not a huge Dr Drew fan but it should be mentioned that OD and suicide are the reality for long time addicts if they don’t commit to recovery

Yeah but DD was a goddamned vulture who puppet stringed some seriously fucked up situations for the drama, all while playing wise sage, which he is not.

Dr. Drew is just another one who forgot a lot of the oath the took when he became an actor just as soon as all the show business money started rolling in. A real doctor is not interested in being a TV star.

He was a Yale graduate.

Wow. Not totally surprised, but outta left field. Wasn’t expecting this today. Neither was he, if he ODed.

[quote] Wow. Not totally surprised, but outta left field. Wasn’t expecting this today. Neither was he, if he ODed.

What day were you expecting it. Did you have your calendar marked?

"Dr" Drew is the devil. Can't stand him or "Dr" Phil. It's all about $$, TV,and fame. The fact that these people actually need help doesn't matter to them. As long as the ratings are strong and that $$$ is rolling in, they don't give a fuck about anyone's well being.

Disgusting greedy people.

Why did Gummi go on a drug addict reality show? To shame the parents? This guy was just so nuts. What did the parents do to him? Or organically insane?

In stonier times

WHET Alexander?

He was one of the saddest people I ever met. His Grandfather fucked them all up by pretending to be wealthier than they ever were. When the money went, so did their self esteem. The kid was miserable.

He never came out, did he?

I wonder if his funeral will feature all of the old hasbeens in little black dresses, flashing their pussies as they crawl out of limos?

Why does good money always happen to bad people?

Ah, I remember his ulcered legs and cavorting with the skanky Lohan and Hiltons. Those were the good old days at Dlisted.

R110 Those were exciting years. But I'm glad there over and done with. Looking back, that was such a trashy time, filled with trashy people. And a lot of those people had their day.

Hopefully the future is better, and they'll never be a time like that again. But then, there's always the next generation coming up.

So who knows. I won't care though.

OK I am mistaken R83. I remember first hearing about how Nicky was not into fame, etc. but I generally ignore the news about celebrities. That is not surprising she married a Rothschild, the Rothschilds tend to marry each other literally, to keep the wealth in the family. They are also batshit crazy.

Details R106? Were you a family friend?

Very true R102.

R111 I am not pessimistic but I am guessing that in our social media saturated society a decade from now, that it will make what Paris, Kim, and Spielberg's daughter and Laurence Fishburne's daughter all did look very tame.

Nicky is into money. Kathy learned from Big Kim and passed those lessons on to her daughters.

R108 LMFAO

Yes, R112 Barbara is a lovely woman who woke up one day to find her house had a 60,000,000 lien against it. She lives from selling Jewels. Nancy lost her Bel Air house. Gregg Davis fucked them all. John Davis is a respected Producer.

R103 I'm sure his behaviour outside of the reality show was more than enough to shame his parents.

R110 His death has reminded me of seemingly simpler times, too. I decided to even look up clips from his stint on Celebrity Rehab (and then other Celebrity Rehab clips, in general). I forgot about his nasty wounds. I chuckled when Dr. Drew asked him if his burns were caused by cooking meth. Supposedly he had only done drugs for 3 years at this point... Huh... Okay.

So when did the Davis’ figure out they were broke? Wasn’t Kim Richards married to a Davis? So she didn’t get any money I suppose?

R117 I think after Marvin Davis died is when they found out just how financially fucked the family was.

It's been rough ever since.

[quote] So when did the Davis’ figure out they were broke? Wasn’t Kim Richards married to a Davis? So she didn’t get any money I suppose?

Marvin Davis died a decade after Kim Richard’s 3 yr marriage to Gregg Davis ended.

More gossip about the Davises and the whole set, if you have it, please!!! Someone on this thread seems to have a bit of insider knowledge and I'm loving it. ❤

[quote]he was robbed at gunpoint, kidnapped and held in the trunk of his own Bentley in 2004.

This makes me so happy. Joe Francis is is scum.

Does anybody have any of the juicy details on his sad last days?
