Sumner Redstone is now suing two of his former girlfriends to retrieve the millions of dollars he spent on them, claiming the women committed elder abuse. Redstone is seeking more than $150 million in damages from the two women. His lawyers claim that the women emotionally abused Redstone to get lavish gifts from him. The lawsuit is contradictory stating that Redstone’s physical and mental capacity were impaired to the point he could be easily manipulated by the women, but his mental competency was the exact reason Philippe Dauman lost his job. The Redstone legal saga continues.
