The honeymoon was soon over between Journey lead guitarist Neal Schon and ex-Playmate of the Month Ava Fabian. And now, so is the litigating.

Fabian, 50, the August 1986 Playboy magazine starlet, and Schon, 58, had a 20-month relationship together in San Anselmo, according to the Marin Independent Journal. She sued him for $20,000, claiming that he agreed to support her financially after they broke up in September 2011, the newspaper reported.

Fabian says she devoted time and energy to raising Schon's children and taking care of his mother. She also says that when she had "reconstructive chest surgery," she was unable to please Schon sexually and was as a result thrown out of the home, the newspaper reported.

In return, Schon asked a judge to have Fabian return a 3.3 carat diamond valued at $100,000.

The two ex-lovers settled out of court before a hearing scheduled for Wednesday. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and attorneys for both sides did not comment to the newspaper.

Fuckin' Schon. Buying tits and 3.3 ct. diamonds doesn't buy happiness or relationships. Is anything real anymore?

Journey's Neal Schon settles lawsuit filed by Playmate ex-flame

Neal Schon, the lead guitarist for the band Journey, has settled a lawsuit by a former Playboy model who said he owed her palimony for their "marriage like relationship" in San Anselmo, according to court documents.

Ava Fabian, the Playmate of the Month in August 1986, filed the lawsuit last year in Marin Superior Court. She claimed Schon, 58, owed more than $25,000 for their "express oral nonmarital relationship agreement" when they lived together in Marin.

The 20-month relationship ended in September 2011, around the time celebrity news reports linked Schon romantically to Michaele Salahi -- the woman who crashed a White House state dinner in 2009 with her husband Tareq. Michaele Salahi later became a reality-show participant on "Real Housewives of D.C."

Fabian, 50, claimed Schon had agreed to support her financially during their relationship and for "a period of time" if they broke up, her lawsuit said.

In return, Fabian claims, she "devoted her sole time, and energy" to managing Schon's affairs, including managing the household and attending to his mother and children from other relationships.

Fabian also claimed that his demands cost her professional opportunities, that he spread gossip that she was a lesbian, and that his behavior caused damage to her 100-stitch reconstructive chest surgery, according to court documents.

"Because I was recovering from surgery and incapacitated, (Schon) flew into a rage because I would not please him
sexually in my condition," she alleged. "This resulted in (Schon) kicking me out of our residence and forcing me to pack up my belongings which ripped my stitches and cause (sic) the scarring on my body."

Schon denied entering into oral agreements with Fabian, sought the return of a 3.3-carat diamond ring valued at $100,000 and filed a motion asking Judge Roy Chernus to toss out the lawsuit.

That hearing was set for Wednesday, but the hearing was called off when the parties notified the court of an "unconditional settlement" in the case. Barring further complications, the suit will be dismissed in November.

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed in court filings. Schon's lawyer, Paul Berra of Los Angeles, declined to comment Tuesday. Fabian's lawyer, John Courtney of the Girardi Keese firm in Los Angeles, did not respond to inquiries.

I'm not sure a 20-month hookup qualifies as "raising his children". And besides that, is anyone else just a little bit curious what has to happen to a person that requires "reconstructive chest surgery"? Damn, Neal.... what kind of whacked out sex were you having with that woman?!

Now, as for a 3.3 ct. diamond...... that's some serious ice! Here's what a solitaire diamond ring that size/weight looks like.

I wonder how much time Neal spends with all his kids.

Schon's such a douche.

If I was single and won the lottery, I'd be thumbing through a playboy saying "I can afford this one and this one and this one and this one...." You got the money, you got the honey.

When I saw the title for this thread, I knew it would be about Neal Schon. Mentally, he hasn't grown out of his teenage years. I am sad for his kids. These kids have to see their Dad for what he is. A no account teenager in a man's body. I hope they all turn out to be better than their Dad is. One can hope for this...

What you see is the rock star side and not the family side. What the hell do you, or any of us know?

There just might be some quality "off tour" time going on. Neal might just be multidimensional and we see only the dimensions that we choose to see. He might be super man!

I know that Neal has had alot of women over the years. Which some of them have left him, and some Neal has left. I am from the San Fran Bay Area, and it was well known back then that Neal is a workaholic. He goes thru women like water. It is hard for him to relax. I remember one time Neal dated a woman near to his son's Miles age. That would freak me out if my own Father came home with a girlfriend close to my age way back then. Neal doesn't have a very good track record with women, and I do hope he is a good Father for his children. God knows Neal hasn't created the family unit his children deserve.

Are you a social worker?
Unless his kids are calling for CPS, I, frankly, can't consider how this is any of your concern. You must have a really large nose. What if Neal has had a lot of Women? If you were a rock star, you probably would have had more drooling cocks than you could shake a stick at.......so again, where are you going with this?

[The Sushi Hunter]

Neal's single. What's wrong with getting some trim?
