A Los Angeles judge has approved a motion filed by the shock rocker last week to keep sealed all financial and business records for the duration of the discovery process in the pending breach of contract lawsuit filed against Manson by his former keyboardist.
Los Angeles Superior Court judge Michael L. Stern ruled on the confidentiality order on Friday.
Gacy, whose real name is Stephen Bier, filed suit against Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, on Aug. 2, 2007, claiming the frontman misused millions of the band’s money to bankroll his own eccentric whims. Gacy claims the blind purchasing deprived him of more than $20 million in his cut of profits from the band’s partnership.
Manson literally followed suit, filing a countersuit against Gacy in December, accusing him of failing to meet contractual touring, recording and merchandising agreements.
As it stands, Gacy’s attorneys, though no one else, will be allowed access to Manson’s personal records. Barring any unforeseen appeals or delays in the case, a hearing in which the keyboardist’s attorneys will renew their petition to depose the rocker is set for April 10.
