David Geffen is being sued by his estranged husband, Donovan Michaels, for breach of contract.
The billionaire and former record executive, who is 82, has allegedly reneged on his promise to provide "lifelong support" to the 32-year-old dancer, who also goes by the name David Armstrong.
The news comes amid their ongoing divorce, according to court documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
According to the complaint, reported by People magazine, Michaels is claiming that Geffen is in "breach of express oral contract" and "breach of implied contract" for denying him "full financial support" after the two separated in April this year.
"In addition to evicting Michaels, Geffen also cut him off from his status quo financial support," Michaels' lawyers allege in the complaint.
In a statement shared with People, Geffen's lawyer Patty Glaser claimed that "there was no contract, express, written, oral, or implied, that has ever existed."
"We will be vigorously and righteously defending against this false, pathetic lawsuit," she added.
Geffen filed for divorce from Michaels in May after less than two years of marriage. The couple did not sign a prenup before marrying in March 2023.
Geffen co-founded Asylum Records in 1971 and co-founded DreamWorks Records in 1996.
He is now retired, and Forbes has reported that his net worth is around $8.7 billion (£6.4 billion).
