On an episode of “Vanderpump Rules,” James Kennedy name-dropped his godfather, George Michael, who had a tight-knit relationship with his dad. According to Bravo, the two went way back and Andros Georgiou once managed Aegean Records, Michael’s 1990s record label.

However, in 1998, the longtime friends had a falling out after Michael was arrested in a Beverly Hills park. Their relationship further spiraled when Georgiou gave HELLO! Magazine a photo of Michael’s late mother, which Michael was extremely unhappy about. The friendship finally came crashing down when Georgiou insulted Michael’s friend Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) when discussing her at a lunch meeting, per Bravo. According to Bustle, Georgiou then quit his job at the record label.

Even after Michael’s death, Georgiou couldn’t avoid the drama. In June 2022, Georgiou called out filmmakers of the Michael documentary, “Freedom Uncut,” for allegedly using video footage that he had taken, per The Sun. “I’ve complained to George’s estate over this new documentary, but been ignored.” He continued, “I don’t have the money for a legal fight because it would be me against the estate — my bank account against theirs.” He did disclose his own film in progress, “George and I,” that compiles behind-the-scenes footage he captured of Michael.

Despite Michael and Georgiou’s turbulent relationship, Kennedy remembers Michael fondly. He told The Sun, “He was like a second dad but we never really got to talk again, which is heartbreaking.”
