Celebrity BB star Verne Troyer was a tight-fisted control freak obsessed with sex and spending his days reading about himself on the web, according to his ex-lover,.
She ran his errands and read out his bizarre fan mail while he spent all day googling his own name. She says Verne - then aged 40 - reduced her to tears through his mean behaviour and dangerously heavy drinking. Soon afterwards, they moved in together, with Verne allowing hard-up Ranae, working as a waitress in a fast-food restaurant between acting jobs, to pay half of the rent. The couple split in July after a home movie Verne had filmed of them having sex was leaked on to the internet.
On Valentines Day he phoned from Las Vegas and told me he had bought me a five-carat diamond ring. But by the time he got home to Los Angeles he claimed he had lost it. We spent ages searching through his bags. In the end he got me a pair of Puma trainers โ but I later found out he got them as a freebie. The man there bit into it and left teeth marks. The man said it was the type of necklace someone would get out of an arcade machine.
We just watched American Idol and played video games. We had our first kiss after the first few dates. But first impressions can be deceptive. Ranae says she held out for a month before sleeping with Verne โ then decided she would only to test her true feelings for him.
But he did, without hesitation. He refused to do anything for himself and would order me around like a slave. He would make me read them to him. I would then have to take all these letters to the post office. And not once did I get a thank-you. Verne, who had dwarfism, had a long battle with alcoholism โ at one point knocking back a bottle of spirits and a six-pack of beer in a day despite his tiny frame.
