Former Madonna Trainer's Shady Past!!!
Filed under: Madonna > Legal Matters > Gwyneth Paltrow
It seems there may be more to Madonna dropping her trainer Tracy Anderson!!!
According to her former flame, Glynn Barber, she swindled him out of $1 million and forced him onto bankruptcy.
He is suing the trainer for investing in two fitness studios, a DVD and a Mercedes, while refusing to pay him a return on her profits!
"She used her female charms to manipulate me to invest $1 million in her company," said Barber. "I was an easy target. She told me she was a Power Ranger. She told me she was in the musical 'Cats' for four years. She said her ex-husband, Eric, played for the Knicks . . . None of this turned out to be true."
And when Anderson started training Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna in 2007, the couple split up and he was elbowed out of the profits.
"I made Madonna's fitness equipment for $13,000 and Tracy sold it to her for $26,000. She made a fortune from using Madonna's name," Barber continued, who is an engineer and machinist.
But, he knows things could be worse for him!! He could be Anderson's current boyfriend, Philippe van den Bossche, who quit his job as head of Madonna's Raising Malawi charity to pursue his relationship.
"I wish there was some way to inform her new boyfriend that he is playing with 'The Cobra.' Tracy absolutely has some voodoo capability," said her scorned ex.
Wowsa!
Hope Madge didn't get screwed out of any money!!!
Even if she did, it's not like she'd miss it!

…what is even worse is that we now know who to blame for Madonna's manarms.
…she gave madonna a nice body which is pricess - you can't buy the 'fit' gene!!!
"She used her female charms to manipulate me"
That means she did anal.
oh well who the fuck cares about these 2 hasbins?!?
at least now shes gone the (drag)queen of pop might start to resemble a woman again . . .
p.s follow me on t w i t t e r my names FUTURESTARdelux thanks x
Perez, if you're going to keep posting this picture PLEASE CROP OUT MADONNA'S HANDS!!!
she lied about being a power ranger - really?
My Perezcious's shady past (Will.I.Am, Dustin Lance Black, MJ etc. etc.) got him "fired" from the march on Washington this past weekend.
a power ranger???
LOL
classic.
So this is who's responsible for making Madonna look like a 70 year old man? She ought to be fired…and ashamed.
And you believe this guy why? Because it gives you the opportunity to make a post. you're desperate, Perez.
You were impressed that someone claimed to be a Power Ranger?? What are you 7-years-old?
Apparently, this is only the tip of the iceberg where Tracy Anderson screwing people is concerned. Do a little research on the gyms she opened in Indiana and LA, before hooking up with Madonna and settling in NY for Gwynnie. Supposedly, she charged all the members upfront fees and then closed the doors and moved away, leaving them all SOL. Also, she claimed to individualize all the workouts on revolutionary machinery, which was nothing more than pretty basic pilates equipment. Sounds pretty shady … wonder if Gwyneth is sweating her investment in those ridiculous, overpriced gyms?!?!
Anyone who invests a million dollars into something without checking into it FIRST is a dumbass.
Eric Anderson absolutely played for the Knicks. Do you have a fact checker?
Whoever this chick is and whatever she's done, I doubt she wrested more money away from Madonna than Sandra Bernhard.
female charms?!? is this guy visually impaired? no amount of CoverGirl could improve this woman's face.
that woman has female charms? she looks like she smells
Anyone that gives away large sums of cash to someone without a contract or checking it out first deserves what happens to them. I don't even let family borrow money without a clear laid out repayment schedule. How is this guy worth millions and that stupid? He must have gotten it from mommy and daddy, because anyone with any business sense would know to set up a contract for that kind of cash.
Those of us in the fitness industry have been screaming at the top of our lungs about what a charlatan and fraud this woman is since she first gained noteriety as being a "celebrity trainer."
She passes herself off as an expert, but can't even name basic muscles any trainer should know, and she says things that make no sense whatsoever from a physiological viewpoint.
Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end for Anderson.

What? How about: Barber, who is an engineer and machinist, continued.

(Not that this specific information even belongs in that sentence, but if you are going to use it, at least write it correctly.)
haha "female charms"…that is the butchest person ever right there…the guy must be easily manipulated
He for to say…She told me she was muppet on the muppet show!
I went to school with her in Indiana and she wasn't very nice then either. Her ex-husband did play for the knicks though.
i bought tracy anderson's dance cardio dvd for $30….
don't judge me. you bastards.
What is it with you pathetic lot?
Tracey didn't give Madonna her body, Madonna earned it herself.
Madonna does not have man arms, she only has big lookng muscles when flexing them, otherwise she has completely normal arms.
MILLIONS would kill for Madonna's body. and personally i love her arms, most women nowadays have flabby arms, Madonna should be proud.
Madonna doesn't need Tracey anyway. She can work out by herself.
eric anderson actually did play for the knicks. he also worked at my high school for a while. he was a very cool man.
