Phil Collins and Orianne Bates' legal battle continues

According to a report by People, it is stated that as Orianne Bates continues to ask Phil Collin’s half mansion, she also claimed that ex-husband Collins stopped showering and brushing his teeth and also became addicted to anti-depressants. She also stated how he became emotionally and verbally abusive for nearly a year. Phil Collin’s attorney denied these claims recently. Orianne Bates continued with her claims and stated how Phil Collins’ stench became so pervasive that he became a hermit, refusing to interact personally with people and as a result, she had to distance herself from him. Adding to it, she also stated how Phil became incapable of being intimate and that he refused to provide any emotional support, love or care for her or their children. 

In response to such serious allegations by Orianne Bates, Collins’ attorney filed in court and refuted the claims by describing them as immaterial and impertinent to the case and also said how Bates made these allegations just to extort money from Phil, the report stated. 

Phil Collin’s attorney further wrote that the allegations were 'scandalous, scurrilous, unethical and patently false or grossly exaggerated'. He added how these false and scandalous allegations were only put so that they can be delivered by defendants to the media to try to damage Collins’ reputation in an effort to extort money. Even a source close to Collins stated that Orianne was using the home as a weapon against him while Bates’ attorney said that her only motive for remaining in the house was to get a fair settlement, as per the report.
