SADNESS ALL AROUND –
July 3, 2025 – “Michael was suffering from the effects of alcoholism. He had multiple stints in and out of rehab. He struggled to maintain his sobriety. He was not happy about his life.”
The lawyer also claimed that Michael was locked in a legal battle with his estranged wife over child support and other finances.
He said: “I blame her for putting in the screws over his last years of life. Michael lived a life of regrets – those regrets being his two marriages.”
He added that the legal battle caused his passport to be “maliciously revoked”, which impacted his ability to travel and work abroad.
Michael suffered a devastating loss in 2022 when his son Hudson took his own life at the age of 26.
The star is survived by his five other children, Jessica who he shared with Dana Mechling, Christian and Max, whose mother is Jeannine Bisignano and Luke and Kalvin, whose mom is Madsen’s wife DeAnna Morgan.
Madsen was married to Georganne LaPiere, half-sister of Cher from 1984 to 1988.
