Gest: look what Liza did

Liza Minnelli's estranged husband David Gest dropped his trousers in a TV interview to show injuries caused when the star allegedly beat him.

David Gest undressed when an interviewer asked if he had any bruises.

'Well, let's put it this way,' Gest replied. 'This is the last reminder of what she did with her hands.'

He then stood up and pulled down the front of his trousers to show a mark on the top of his leg.

Gest claimed Minnelli, 57, had beaten him before during their 16-month marriage but the last time was more violent.

'She'd hit me before but never over and over and over and over into the head,' he told Dateline NBC in the US.

The 50-year-old said he would never be the same again after having up to 80 injections in the head to relieve the pain from the beatings.

He is suing Minnelli for £6million. She denies the allegations and is counter-suing for £1million, claiming Gest stole from her.

'Liza's a liar,' said Gest, who has been receiving treatment in Hawaii since the pair split last July.

The couple married in a lavish ceremony in March 2002 in which Michael Jackson was best man and Elizabeth Taylor maid of honour.

Gest blamed their split on a magazine article, which painted her as an alcoholic, not on the abuse.

She accused him of being the source of the story, which he denied.

' She got the magazine on a Wednesday and on Thursday announced it was over,' said Gest.
