David Geffen To Estranged Husband You Used Me For My Money … I Didn’t Promise It to You!!!

David Geffen is firing back at his estranged husband … he says the guy’s claims that Geffen promised to financially support him for life are bogus and a textbook shakedown attempt.
The billionaire just responded to a lawsuit filed by his estranged husband, David Andrew Armstrong (AKA Donovan Michaels) … and Geffen flat out denies ever making assurances to take care of Armstrong financially for the rest of his life.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Geffen says Armstrong’s claims are ludicrous and part of a contrived attempt to humiliate Geffen in public and extract a financial settlement.
Geffen says it’s clearly a shakedown but insists it won’t work. He says during their relationship, he was happy to provide Armstrong with anything he asked for, putting him up in his own apartment in New York and giving him “nearly unlimited spending money.”
But Geffen says he never promised to share ownership of any assets with Armstrong or provide him with life-long financial support if they ever separated.
TMZ broke the story … Geffen and Armstrong did not have a prenup when Geffen filed for divorce in May after less than 2 years of marriage. Forbes says Geffen is worth $8.8B but he’s been retired for 15 years, and our understanding is he has no income other than investments, including property sales and dividends from stocks and equities he mostly acquired long before he met Armstrong. Any assets he got before they married would be Geffen’s separate property.

These docs are a response to the separate civil lawsuit Armstrong filed against Geffen in July, claiming Geffen promised him they would share all earnings and accumulated property equally. He also claimed Geffen told him he would financially support him for life.
Geffen says his written estate plan makes it clear that was never his intention … and flat out insists there were no such promises made to Armstrong.
Geffen’s attorney Patty Glaser filed the response … and we’re told Geffen’s divorce attorney, disso queenLaura Wasser, brought Patty on for the civil case.
In the docs, Geffen says Armstrong was treated like a king when they were together and Armstrong used his money to buy expensive clothes, get cosmetic procedures, and go on extravagant trips with his friends … taking advantage of Geffen’s “good nature and generosity.”
Geffen claims Armstrong spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on OnlyFans subscriptions and male prostitutes towards the end of their marriage … and says the guy was happy to spend Geffen’s money on himself and his friends, while only feigning interest in Geffen.
What’s more … Geffen says Armstrong was hiding illicit drug use from him — regularly using ketamine and cocaine — and claims the drug habit continued even after Geffen paid for him to get treatment.
Geffen says he ended the relationship as Armstrong’s “facade of a loving, devoted husband began to crumble” and he discovered the extent of his ex’s “betrayal, dishonesty and outright fraud.” He says he was faced with the reality that the man he loved was not a true partner but had used him for a life of excess shared with others … and decided to end things.
In the docs, Geffen claims Armstrong is still living rent-free in one of his luxury New York apartments and gets monthly payments from him … but he says Armstrong is turning what should have been a simple divorce into a “public spectacle.”
Elon Musk One Mistake and I’m Dead!!! Life’s on ‘Hardcore Mode’ Since Charlie Kirk Killing

The Katie Miller Podcast
Elon Musk says fans swarming him for a selfie aren’t the only reason it’s nearly impossible for him to go out in public … he told “The Katie Miller Podcast” Charlie Kirk‘s murder raised the stakes to life and death.
Watch the video … Elon tells Katie, “These days — particularly in light of Charlie Kirk’s murder, there are serious security issues.”
According to the world’s richest man, his friend’s assassination reinforced the severity of the situation, making him more reclusive. He couldn’t seem to recall the last time he’d been out on a routine errand like a grocery store run or a stop at a drugstore.
“It’s not that I don’t want to,” he said. “I simply can’t.”
Elon explained he always has to have his guard up, for fear of the worst … “Life is on ‘hardcore mode.’ Make one mistake and you’re dead.”
Guess having all the money in the world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
The 20-year-old man accused of shooting Jets player Kris Boyd in NYC appeared before a judge on Tuesday … with prosecutors claiming surveillance footage and cell phone records pin him to the scene of the crime.
Frederick Green was formally read his charges in connection with the Nov. 16 incident — one count of attempted murder, one count of assault, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
The judge granted prosecutors’ request for remand … meaning he’ll remain in custody.
Prosecutors said Green can be seen on video wearing a face mask, black pants, and a black cap, getting in an altercation with a group of people outside Sei Less restaurant around 2 AM.
They said the footage shows the alleged shooter taking a stance and extending his arm before firing two shots.
Prosecutors said Green entered the establishment in the same clothes without a mask earlier in the night … and the footage appears to match a photo of Green.
Authorities also say T-Mobile cell site records place a number registered to Green pinged near the scene of the altercation … as well as Polo Grounds housing nearly half an hour later.
As for Boyd, officials say he was transported to the hospital after one of the gunshots entered his groin and exited his abdomen, leaving a fragment in his pulmonary artery.
Officials say Green may have changed his hair in an attempt to fly under the radar at some point following the incident … after cops shared his image as part of the investigation.
2026 Met Gala Who Run The World??? Beyoncé, Kidman & Venus Williams to Co-Chair Event
Published
A music superstar, an Oscar winner, and a tennis legend take over the Met Gala … we don’t know if there’s a punchline yet — because we’ll have to wait and see what happens since Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams have been named co-chairs of the event!
The three stars have been tapped to work with industry icon Anna Wintour — who always heads up the annual fashion extravaganza — on next year’s edition of the event … with Vogue announcing the news via Instagram Wednesday morning.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The gala has a “Costume Art” theme in 2026 … essentially a celebration of the intersection between human body and art — so, expect to see stars celebrating their own skin as they march up The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Beyoncé’s inclusion as a co-chair is probably the most surprising … given she hasn’t even attended the gala since 2016 — when she stunned in a form-fitting Givenchy Haute Couture gown.
Kidman and Williams are more recent attendees of the event … both having stopped by earlier this year — though this will obviously mark the first appearance by NK at the gala since she filed for divorce from Keith Urban.
Hopefully, you’re “Crazy in Love” with these co-chairs … because it’s certainly a star-studded crew!
