Mickey Rooney Sues Stepson

Mickey Rooney, 90, is proceeding with his lawsuit against his stepson, Christoper Aber, accusing him and others of elder abuse, fraud and stealing his income. Court documents allege the stepson fraudulently took control of all Rooney’s income which typically amounted to $12,000 a month. Rooney accuses the stepson of applying for and using credit cards in Rooney’s name to lead an extravagant lifestyle. The stepson claims the lawsuit isn’t being driven by Rooney but by Rooney’s conservators. Rooney alleges that Aber has been physically and emotionally abusing him for several years by depriving him of food and medications, prohibiting him from leaving his house and taking control over his finances. Aber denies the allegations.
