  Suit: Siegfried taunts, torments, humiliates his magician partner Roy - CourtTV.com - People
A former employee of world-famous magicians Siegfried & Roy claims in a lawsuit that Siegfried Fischbacher (left) abuses and humiliates Roy Horn.
"Siegfried was a tyrant and had loud, explosive outbursts at the plaintiff and at Roy," says the civil suit filed by Louis Mydlach, a former Siegfried and Roy insider.
"[Fischbacher] declined to purchase new clothing for Roy, and Roy's clothing had to be pinned up to stay on because of his drastic loss of weight, causing him embarrassment and a loss of self-esteem," Mydlach's suit claims.

The two men, '''Siegfried Fischbacher''' (born June 13, 1939 in Rosenheim, Germany) and '''Roy Uwe Ludwig Horn''' (born October 3, 1944 in Nordenham, Germany), are naturalized American citizens who made large white tigers appear and disappear in their act.
Siegfried is a traditional magician, or illusionist, while Roy grew up among exotic animals and is known for his rapport with them.
Fischbacher, appearing on the Larry King interview program, said Horn fell during the act and Montecore was attempting to drag him to safety, as a mother tigress would pull one of her cubs by the neck.

Siegfried & Roy are longtime Las Vegas headliners whose longrunning illusion and magic act closed October 3, 2003 after “Roy” was mauled by one of the act's performing white tigers during a performance.
In a December 1, 2003 appearance on NBC’s Today show, Fischbacher said Horn was making a “slow, steady recovery.” It is disputed whether or not the tiger attacked Horn.
One described the injury as a “typical killing bite”; another said Fischbacher's story “just doesn't wash.” Montecore was put into quarantine for 10 days in order to ensure it was not rabid, and was then returned to its habitat at the Mirage.
