Who would have thought a man with so many great breakup songs would be so unlucky in love?
I will be buying the next album. It promises to be a new level of dramatic.

And now — according to a lawsuit filed by Collins — Cevey and her new husband, Tom Bates, are allegedly living in his $33 million dollar Miami beachfront mansion. And they’ve hired four armed guards to protect them. According to the Miami Herald :
The new couple are “threatening, implicitly and explicitly, to prolong their unlawful occupation of the property through force,” the filing states. “An injunction is urgently needed to end an armed occupation and takeover of the Phil Collins home by his ex girlfriend and her new husband, the defendants in the action.”
But seriously at this point, I expect the ex-wife and new hubby to be hauled into court, and claim with a straight face that what they did was perfectly legal according to Florida law.
And then win the case, and be awarded the mansion.

Time to cross “Phil Collins’ ex-wife uses armed guards to annex Miami mansion.” off the headline checklist.

In a couple decades Tom Bates will be all grown up and ready to sue her for a mansion to share with his own twenty-something. /s
Seriously, I have no prejudgment of consenting adults with arbitrarily large age gaps, but I’m sensing there just might be a pattern here.

SWAT can easily remove the armed guards, dead or alive.
Yeah, but the whole point is to still have a house and your stuff when they are done…

That’s a serious concern given the particulars of this court case.
(Conceivably, the tenth (Colorado) and the eleventh circuit (florida) courts might split on financial damages, but money can’t replace a lot of things.)

Yep. Think of that exact case. Qualified Immunity run amuck.
