David Geffen allegedly demanded sexual ‘domination’ over 32-year-old husband
David Geffen is mired in a messy divorce that now threatens both his $9 billion fortune and the legacy he spent decades cultivating, according to a report.
In explosive legal filings, Donovan Michaels— the 82-year-old music mogul’s estranged husband who is 50 years his junior — claims their marriage was a twisted power play built on sex, money and control.
Michaels, who did not sign a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot with Geffen in March 2023, alleges their first encounter wasn’t a chance meeting but a $10,000 sexual transaction arranged through SeekingArrangements.
He says Geffen, who launched careers from Joni Mitchell to the Eagles, insisted on sexual dominance, dictated his appearance with painful surgeries and laser treatments and berated him over minor flaws like ingrown hairs, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Michaels portrays Geffen as casting him in a “theater of virtue,” turning his modest background into a kind of moral currency.

Young Donovan has been traumatized for life by the systemic racism at play in the dynamics of their relationship. The integrity of Young Donovan's Black body, mind, and soul were stolen by Geffen in his domineering control over Young Donovan, down to the specific racist demand that he remove the kind of body hair only African-American men have.

Can you really believe a word Donovan says? He's making up anything and everything - with his attorneys - to try and get that hush money payment.
The whole world knows you're a whore. He offered to help with some of your skin issues - and you most likely gladly accepted.
Honestly, there need to be more laws against this horseshit. I know slander is an offense - but people get away with way too much lying in court and to the media.
Donovan got a lot of nice things and some good money during this period - take it - accept whatever settlement you're given, and live your life. You're not getting billions over 2 years. You can't tell me David doesn't have all his assets tied up.
The whole 50/50 is just for assets acquired during the marriage, correct?

Sometime CHEAP is EXPENSIVE.
Geffen has no one to blame but himself for getting involved with this prostitute/porn actor who's not even hot or attractive.
I said this in another thread- If he was or at least looked like the startlingly handsome pizza guy from Long Island or the hot Indian/Argentine busboy from San Francisco that would be understandable. He should have given this Fred Garvin $10 million or so and Geffen would have been getting off cheaply-without of all of this negative publicity.

Don’t know Geffen. Understand from his press he started his career in the mailroom of the William Morris Agency and now is worth nearly nine billion dollars. Wouldn’t ya’ think he is one smart man? And possibly always one lonely man, always needing people around him. He is the founder of record labels Asylum Records, Geffen Records and DGC Records, as well as film studio DreamWorks. He he has amassed an impressive contemporary art collection, including works by Jasper Johns, De Kooning and Jackson Pollock, owns impressive real estate. So he got to know this young guy. Now 30 isn’t young, but when you are 80 it is. Big dick or no dick, Geffen kept after the guy and the pair tied the knot in March 2023 — without a prenup. WTH? What kind of marriage was it, where? Little seems to be known of it. Why would anyone sane do that? Bad case o marryng down and marrying up. Never did see newspaper photos of their sublime happiness. So, what, 28 months into marriage Geffen is now into divorce proceedings. Personal issues now in the papers. Who needs that, no matter how stupid they are.

Probably because under California law, a spouse doesn’t have any rights to property acquired before the marriage. That’s why the ex is suing for breach of contract, not under divorce law.
I guess Geffen doesn’t feel he has anything to hide. The allegations are pretty weak stuff.

I'm reasonably sure what Donovan claims about Geffen is mostly factual. $9M divorce settlement isn't just pocket change for Geffen. Just pay him something more substantial like $50M and he will agree and go away.

The guy is probably asking for $100 million, so Geffen should settle for $25-50 million and move on. The legal fight is not worth damaging your reputation over. He was actually married to the guy, after all.

I kind of feel bad for the kid because I believe this is probably true. Geffen could promise him anything because there was no prenuptial agreement and California divorce court is presided over by a judge, no jury. A judge is not likely to give an able-bodied young man much by way of equity, particularly as he played no part in the household's accumulation of wealth.

Mr. Geffen's income over the last two years was passive interest growth on investments that existed before the marriage to Mr. Michaels. Mr. Michaels did not contribute to the wealth of the household in any way. He was not a trophy-wife, a mother or a homemaker, and therefore, is not entitled to any of Mr. Geffen's vast fortune.
