quote:

In a motion to dismiss his son John Marriott III’s lawsuit against him, Marriott International chairman Bill Marriott claims John’s allegations are false, and that his son’s drug and alcohol abuse is to blame for the family rift.

quote:

In October, John—the one time heir apparent to the Marriott hotel empire—sued his father, alleging that Bill Marriott disowned him, cut him off from his trust fund, drove him out of the family business, and is attempting to push him into financial ruin, all triggered by John’s 2015 divorce against the wishes of his devout Mormon parents. Until the lawsuit, the Marriotts had maintained a largely unblemished, wholesome public image.

quote:

During the first quarter of 2014, while John was still CEO of JWM Family Enterprises, Bill and Richard allege that “John went missing for weeks. At times, no one could reach him: not his co-workers, not his family, his wife or children. As it turned out, John had been spending much of that time overseas in France and Switzerland.” (John’s girlfriend, whom he began seeing prior to his divorce, lives in the French Alps.) Only after John returned and his brother David Marriott “personally accompanied him to a rehabilitation facility in California” did the family come “to appreciate the depth of John’s disease and the disconcerting lengths to which he was going in order to obtain the drugs that fueled his addiction.” John left rehab early and continued to behave erratically, Bill and Richard claim. (John alleges that his father has known about his addiction for decades, but didn’t care as long as John didn’t publicly tarnish the family’s wholesome image.)

I don't understand how an entitled prick can sue his parents for taking him out the will.

This statement proves John knew the rules and what his parents would do should he cross the line...Being cut out is on him, not his parents.

Kid is whacked out having trouble separating family and business....you're on drugs and stopped treatment, and you're surprised the business has terminated your employment?

Just go to treatment you a-hole

Why is it the bad eggs in a family relish in tarnishing the good of everyone else?

Isn't all that well within the rights of a father. I don't understand how lawsuits like this even make it past pretrial.

Our entire legal system is beyond fricked up.

This is why I only stay at Hiltons.

I prefer the owners of my hotels to have a stable family and slutty daughters.

quote:

Rick and Kathy Hilton to Force Son Conrad Hilton to Get Medical Help The wayward grandson of the Hilton founder is cooling his heels in a cell after another disturbing episode. His long-suffering parents are now trying to force him to get help as a condition of springing him.


quote:

The latest Hilton nightmare began to unfold this weekend after Conrad, Paris Hilton’s little brother, was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly stealing Rick Salomon’s Bentley and trying to break into the house of Salomon’s daughter, Hunter, who is Hilton’s ex-girlfriend. Just in case they didn’t know who he was, a video of his arrest shows Hilton screaming homophobic abuse at police officers before unloading the classic line, “I’m Conrad motherfricking Hilton. Don’t you forget it!”

quote:

Admitting to smoking pot on plane The class B misdemeanor accuses Hilton of assaulting two flight attendants aboard a British Airways flight on July 31, 2014, "by intentionally using a display of force that reasonably caused (the attendants) to fear immediate bodily harm," according to court documents filed last week. Hilton signed court papers last week that state he "repeatedly entered the bathroom to smoke marijuana and tobacco" during Flight 269 from London to Los Angeles, court papers said.

Anyone with serious money would consider this every now and then.

Someone's sarcasm meter is broken. I thought I was slow on the uptake.

I stayed at a Marriott a few weeks ago, left my unfinished food near the TV fully intending to eat it later. Went to a meeting with some associates. I came back like 4 hours later and the stuff was gone. So screw Marriott.
