Slash Claims He Accidentally Overpaid Ex-Wife Perla Ferrar $1.5M In Spousal Support

Guns N’ Roses guitar hero Slash is dealing with an eye-watering financial nightmare after a costly accounting blunder accidentally handed over a small fortune to his former spouse. The legendary rocker says a major oversight from his team left his personal bank account $1.5 million lighter than it ought to be—and his ex-wife's wallet significantly fuller than legally agreed upon. According to fresh legal filings, the musician’s business management team accidentally wired an extra seven figures in spousal support payouts over time to his ex-wife, Perla Ferrar. Now, the legendary rock icon is turning to the legal system to help him set the record straight and recoup the massive overpayment. Slash is officially asking a judge for permission to slice down his upcoming spousal support checks until the entire $1.5 million balance is fully recovered. Instead of demanding that Ferrar write him a massive single check to refund the money upfront, the guitarist wants to balance his ledger by docking her future monthly payouts.

The former couple shared a long and complicated history before finally calling it quits. Slash, whose birth name is Saul Hudson, tied the knot with Ferrar back in 2001. After more than a decade together and raising two children, the duo entered a protracted and notoriously bitter divorce battle that wasn't officially wrapped up until late 2018. Their final split agreement required the hard-rock legend to pay substantial spousal and child support payouts, alongside handing over a chunk of real estate, luxury vehicles, and bank assets. While Slash acknowledges that the recent $1.5 million mistake was made entirely on his side by his own financial management company, he argues that Ferrar was never legally entitled to keep the extra cash under the explicit terms of their divorce judgment.
