In a scathing account published in The Australian, Lucy-Mae Beers described 57-year-old Beers as a “D-list rock star” suffering from a “Peter Pan syndrome”.

The 22-year-old said the recent INXS mini-series Never Tear Us Apart was full of errors and did not paint the full picture of Beers’s lifestyle at the peak of the band’s success and the effect it had on his then wife and two young daughters.

The series, Lucy-Mae said, “conveniently left out the fact that Garry has five children in three countries and is now married to the woman who used to wait for him outside of gigs while his family were inside”.

To add insult to injury, Lucy-Mae said, the script portrayed Beers as rationalising his affair with a backing singer because he was “lonely” and “she was beau­tiful”.

After the series aired, Lucy-Mae said Beers — who she only speaks to via infrequent email — sent her an “egotistical” message asking, “What did you think of Hugh Sheridan playing ­myself?”

When the glory days of INXS fell away after the shock death of singer Michael Hutchence in 1997, Beers abandoned his wife, Lucy-Mae and her little sister Matilda by moving to the US and marrying one his “conquests”, his daughter wrote.

“A settled family lifestyle with us was not appealing in the slightest — he longed to be back on tour fooling around with instruments and women,” Lucy-Mae wrote.

Lucy-Mae said her father had never apologised to his daughters or ex-wife for his actions.

“A multitude of excuses have escaped my Dad’s mouth in his time, but never the word ‘sorry’,” she wrote.

“It is clear he is not sorry that my little sister found out about his first affair in the INXS auto­biography in the school library, or that we were sent to four psychologists to understand why we were upset with him for abandoning us like stray dogs.”

Beers currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Jourdan and their twins Isla and August.
