David Geffen, 82, and 32-year-old boytoy ex’s messy split takes a surprising twist

David Geffen’s estranged husband, David Armstrong, filed to dismiss a scathing lawsuit accusing the film producer of “grooming” him and paying him for sex.

The 32-year-old go-go dancer, who is also known as Donovan Micheals, withdrew the July complaint against the businessman, 82, after alleging the latter used “seduction” and “control” to “entrap” him in “a cycle of dependency, submission, and humiliation,” according to court documents obtained by Page Six Tuesday.

The lawsuit was requested to be dismissed without prejudice, which means that Armstrong can re-file the suit in the future.

Armstrong’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, who also represents Justin Baldoni in his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively, told TMZ that his client’s additional “financial conflicts” will be resolved in mediation.

The outlet also reported that Geffen — who reportedly has a net worth of $9 billion — has paid his ex $200,000 since they parted ways in February, and pays his $15,000 monthly rent.

The DreamWorks Records founder is also reportedly willing to pay Armstrong up to $50,000 in spousal support for one year.

Reps for Armstrong and Geffen, who wed in March 2023 and filed for divorce in May, weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

In Armstrong’s bombshell lawsuit, he claimed to have met Geffen on SeekingArrangements.com, a website he alleged wealthy men, such as his billionaire ex, sort through to “shop for the vulnerable.”

The performer accused Geffen — who has vehemently denied all the allegations against him — of paying him $10,000 to perform sexual acts the night they first met and alleged the record executive used him “as a living social experiment – a trophy to show off to his wealthy friends, under the guise of benevolence.”

Armstrong claimed that he didn’t sign a prenup when he tied the knot to Geffen because he believed his estranged husband cared for him after learning he had grown up in the foster system.

Armstrong alleged that Geffen portrayed himself as his “white knight” to groom him, claiming how the businessman later “began transporting [him] across the globe as his paid sex worker,” per the suit.

Armstrong also accused the Asylum Records founder of forcing him to undergo cosmetic procedures, such as laser treatments, as the latter would allegedly become angry over the “existence of an ingrown hair.”

Additionally, Armstrong alleged that Geffen made him take drugs, including molly, cannabis and cocaine, resulting in him enrolling in an Alcoholics Anonymous program.

When the two split in May, Armstrong claimed he was homeless after being evicted from his and Geffen’s New York City home and cut off “from his status quo financial support.”

In the filing, Armstrong requested that Geffen be ordered to provide him with financial support to cover a lifetime worth of living expenses, including a home.

At the time, Geffen’s lawyers told Page Six that they would “vigorously and righteously” defend their client “against this false, pathetic lawsuit.”
