Christopher was first placed under his sister’s guardianship during a bout of alcohol withdrawal. He fell, hit his head and underwent life-saving surgery after internal bleeding. While Christopher was hospitalized, his sister filed for guardianship.
In a recent court filing, Christopher alleged that Asmo Baker used up to $40,000 of finances that should have been for his guardianship to pay off her own credit cards and buy her son a laptop, among other things.
Asmo Baker denied the allegations to Bloomberg via email, writing, “If I hadn’t been his Guardian he’d be DEAD!”
Christopher is just one of several celebrities — most notablyBritney Spears— who has spoken out about the restrictions, abuses and problems with conservatorships.
As the article was published on Bloomberg Thursday, he posted a note onInstagramwith the caption: “Sharing is part of the healing process.”
