Redstone is suing two of his former gal pals, Manuela Herzer and Sydney Holland, for $150 million. He claims that the two somehow took advantage of him to get the money and gifts when they were dating.
The defendants in the suit are claiming that it is actually the work of Redstone’s daughter Shari Redstone who is angry at her father for giving away so much of his fortune which she soon stands to inherit.
Sumner Redstone only recently stepped down from the leadership of Viacom, a company which he led for four decades.
