Dion mial gay

Dion Mial was an important part of Gary Coleman's final years. Coleman's troubled relationship with Shannon Price and his death suspicions are revealed in the documentary. Mial has lashed out against Coleman’s ex, accusing her of trying to profit off Coleman’s death by selling interviews and photos. I also wondered about the possible gay relationship between Gary and Dion Mial (but as Jerry Seinfeld would say "Not that there's anything wrong with that").

The New York Times critic who reviewed the movie believes the movie implies they were boyfriends. Coleman's former manager Dion Mial was initially involved but withdrew after Coleman's will, which had named Mial as executor, was found to have been superseded by a will replacing Mial with Gray. Frederick Jackman, a lawyer for Mr. Coleman’s parents, said the executor named in the will is Dion Mial, a friend and former manager.

Relatives, friends, business associates, and more are speaking candidly for the first time about actor Gary Coleman in the upcoming Peacock documentary, GARY. Coleman — whose stunted growth pigeon-holed him to his earliest roles as a child actor — would face many challenges throughout his adult life, including courtroom battles and arrests, much of which became tabloid fodder for the masses.

Born in Zion, Illinois — about 60 miles north of Chicago and just south of the Wisconsin border — the child star with a natural gift for acting lived with a congenital kidney defect that would impact his health for the rest of his life. In , at the age of two, parents Willie and Sue Coleman sought medical treatment when the toddler suffered a fever. At age 5, Coleman underwent a necessary kidney transplant and later became reliant on routine dialysis for the rest of his life.

However, the bright and bubbly child — who was reportedly back to doing handstands just weeks after the surgery — caught the attention of local scouts. That, coupled with the work pressures handed down from a demanding Willie Coleman, seemingly contributed to the actor falling into a deep depression in his late teens, according to those on set at the time who were later interviewed in the documentary.

Though born and raised in

In , Coleman hired lawyers to investigate his finances. He later filed a lawsuit in December , leading to a protracted and high-profile case, especially after Willie and Sue Coleman petitioned for a conservatorship over the actor. Some of the money went into failed real estate ventures in the Midwest. The parents claimed ignorance when it came to managing money and said they only signed where told.

Around that time, with work dried up in the entertainment industry, Coleman found employment as a security guard. In what would become an event widely parodied at the time, Coleman was arrested after an altercation with a female fan. A verbal altercation ensued, and after witnesses said the fan insulted his acting career, Coleman punched the woman in the face.

He ultimately pleaded no contest to assault and battery and was sentenced to 90 days suspended, a small fine, and anger management classes. Coleman moved to Santaquin, Utah — about 20 miles south of Provo — after filming Church Ball in That was when he met his future wife, year-old Shannon Price, who played an extra in the film.

During that time, police were called at least two times for reports of domestic violence from both parties, and in one instance, Coleman was booked into the county jail. According to Kester, Coleman also weighed getting a restraining order against Price. Nothing, like, red-flag. Like, people smack each other, they hit each other. People do it. Some, including Gray and Buys, questioned the ex-wife based on her actions following the fall, including her declining to accompany Coleman on the way to the hospital.

Wariness around Price only grew when she took a selfie of herself and Coleman — who was then intubated in a hospital bed — shortly before doctors took him off life support just two days after the fall.
