David Gest and Liza Minnelli
Matchmaker Michael Jackson played a role in introducing singer Liza Minnelli to David Gest. The couple married in 2002, but their union only lasted 16 months. Their divorce proceedings became one of Hollywood's most chaotic and contentious cases.
During the extended legal battle, David Gest made various accusations against Liza Minnelli, which the judge ultimately dismissed due to lack of evidence.
