The couple married in March 2002
Liza Minnelli's estranged husband David Gest is suing her for $10m (£5.9m) in damages for spousal abuse, saying she attacked him in drunken rages.
Gest, who separated from Minnelli three months ago, said she threw a lamp at him and beat his face with her fists.
In an 11-page civil suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, he said an attack by Minnelli left him with an "unrelenting pain in his head".
