Phil Collins ex-wife Orianne Cevey is auctioning $4M of precious items including singer’s personal Yamaha piano after splitting from escort third husband ‘whose genitals she threatened to sever’
Daily Mail | 11/17/23

The ex-wife of rock legend Phil Collins, Orianne Cevey, is auctioning off more of the singer’s collection of valuables.

…

Cevey has been going through her third divorce recently – this time from Tom Bates, a male escort. The pair got hitched in Las Vegas in 2020 without a prenup.

Bates has since claimed that Cevey had a ‘ferocious temper,’ hid his own possessions from him, and threatened to cut off his genitals when he asked for them to be returned.

[Could have been worded better…]

This auction, scheduled for December 6, will see a number of high-end couture items being sold off that Cevey acquired during her marriage to Collins, including Chanel clothing, shoes, boots, and a large selection of Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

‘I was Chanel’s number one client when I started collecting in 2001 with more than 500 pairs of Chanel shoes in my collection,’ Cevey told Page Six.
