Slash's $1.5M Spousal Support Blunder Revealed

Rock icon Slash, legally known as Saul Hudson, has filed a court request concerning substantial spousal support overpayments made to his ex-wife, Perla Ferrar. The guitarist claims his business manager's oversight led to an accidental overpayment totaling $1.5 million across 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Slash reportedly pays Ferrar $100,000 monthly, with additional quarterly income-based amounts. He asserts that his manager failed to reduce these additional sums when the maximum allowable payments decreased, resulting in the significant overage. Slash sought to resolve this privately in March by applying the alleged overpayment to upcoming support, but Ferrar did not agree.

Emails submitted to the court indicate Ferrar's legal team requested further financial documentation before authorizing any credit. While Slash's business manager claims the documents were provided, an agreement on the deductions remains elusive. Slash is not demanding a direct refund but rather court permission to offset the $1.5 million against future spousal support installments.
