Renee Perez Davis filed the suit Wednesday (8/9) in Los Angeles Superior Court, which alleges the singer failed to honor a pact in which he "orally agreed to pay all expenses of [hers] and the parties' minor son for the rest of [her] life in exchange for [her] performing household and other duties on behalf of [him] commencing in 1991" and extending through nearly the entire decade.
The couple met in 1991, when Perez Davis was just 17, and Davis was in the struggling Bakersfield, CA band Sex Art. They married in 1998, but separated earlier this year. Their son, Nathan, was born in 1995.
Perez Davis alleges she gave up her career to help Davis with his. She claims she attended all of Korn's gigs, passed out show fliers, helped design the band's logo and chauffeured Davis to rehearsals and shows (due to his fear of driving).
Perez Davis claims to be entitled to half of Davis' earnings during the couple's nine-year relationship, including copyrights, publishing money and retail and merchandise earnings, as well as half of the family's home.
Korn has sold approximately nine million albums in the U.S.
In other warm and fuzzy family news, Eminem has rejected his mother's offer to settle her $10 million defamation lawsuit against him for $2 million, according to court records.
The Macomb Daily reported the rapper rejected the offer, and intends to take the civil suit to trial.
Eminem is scheduled to give a deposition on Sept. 13. Debbie Mathers-Briggs alleges her son described her in magazine interviews as an unstable, lawsuit-happy drug user.
Eminem still faces felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly threatening a man who kissed his wife at a bar.
