Overview
- Daniel Bernard’s petition also asks Sia to fund his litigation, with reports citing at least $300,000 for attorneys and $200,000 for forensic accounting, while Billboard reports a request of at least $500,000 for legal fees.
- He says Sia’s company cut funding to their joint venture Modern Medicine, leaving him unemployed since April 1 and reliant on stipulated payments that expired on October 1.
- Bernard claims he left his radiation oncology career to co-run a ketamine clinic with Sia and that his medical license has lapsed, preventing an immediate return to clinical work.
- The filing describes a high-spending lifestyle of roughly $400,000 to $500,000 per month in a 9,500-square-foot Toluca Lake home staffed by 10 to 12 employees.
- Sia filed for divorce in March seeking legal and physical custody of their child and moved to block spousal support, and the court has not yet ruled on Bernard’s new requests.
