Biggest scumbag non-musicians
As opposed to the musicians thread, who are the dirtbags of the business? Besides Sharon.
Mark Sokol -- I encountered him once and was disgusted with how predatory he was. It has to be an open secret because Metallica mentioned him in their liner notes once as "The God of Love." Love had nothing to do with it.
Lemmy's lawyer. I don't remember the asshole's name but he basically took the entire estate away from Lemmy's son Paul, including both apartments, and sold pieces of it without Paul's permission. I saw it all documented a few years back. I have nothing but contempt for that piece of shit.
Andy Secher -- wrote all of Hit Parader under fake names, copied international articles and ran them as originals, would interview the bassist and drummer from a band because they were the only ones who would talk to him, then say it was the singer and lead guitarist. And I heard that Miss Heavy Metal contest was shady as hell. 10x worse than Trunk ever was.

Stan Polley, Badfinger's manager. Swindler who stole money from Badfinger and other artists he managed, as well as some non musicians. Left Badfinger broke, which supposedly was a factor in Badfinger's singer/guitarist killing himself.

What about the girl that tricked legendary Dave Grohl into having another kid? She destroyed his legacy

Eddie Nash, owner of the Starwood Nightclub, which spawned many hair bands, has to be considered.
Suspected in multiple murders, drug dealer, cocaine addict, etc..
John Holmes ex wife described him this way:
"He [Eddie Nash] was an awful man... John told me he used to leave the bathrooms without toilet paper, then offer the young women cocaine if they'd lick his ass clean.”
Those young ladies must’ve really, really liked their cocaine.

Andrew Aycock. end thread.
Re: Biggest scumbag non-musicians
I read a version of that story years ago, about a club owner who kept a female entourage of drug addicts that he liked to humiliate, P Diddy style. I remembered it, probably wrongly, as Michael Alig, but he fits this thread too, anyway.windycitycane wrote: ↑Thu Aug 14, 2025 5:26 pm "He [Eddie Nash] was an awful man...

Trump, and his good pals Epstein and Maxwell.
For creating modeling agencies simply so they could rape and humiliate underaged girls.
And that's just one thing. The list is endless.
Sadly, only one of these pigs is dead, but the other two should be as well.

Lou Perlman was a real shitbag, stealing millions from the boy bands, back in the day.
