Donovan Michaels has filed a lawsuit against his estranged husband, David Geffen, claiming exploitation and breach of contract. Michaels asserts that Geffen, who claimed to love him, coerced him into giving up his aspirations for financial security. Their relationship began on a dating site, leading to marriage without a prenup. Michaels alleges that Geffen objectified him and enforced control over his personal appearance and sexual acts, highlighting an imbalance of power and emotional abuse within their partnership.
Michaels alleges that Geffen, a wealthy white gay billionaire, exploited him as a vulnerable young gay Black man and made promises of love and support that were never fulfilled.
The lawsuit claims that Geffen treated Michaels as a social experiment, publicly revealing their relationship while privately subjecting him to criticisms and controlling his personal appearance.
