The pop star, who teared up after his ejection from "Dancing With the Stars" last week, owes over $1 million in back taxes, according to court filings obtained by Access Hollywood.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, last month Cage filed suit against Samuel J. Levin, whom he claimed in court papers was an "incompetent business manager," and whom he said sent the star, "down a path toward financial ruin."

But in his cross complaint, filed late last week, Levin claims that when he was hired by Cage in 2001, the actor had already, "squandered tens of millions of dollars he had earned as a movie star, he was deeply in debt, and he owed millions of dollars in accrued but unpaid income taxes, with no funds available to pay the debut."

The star of films including "Leaving Las Vegas," and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" owes over $6 million in back taxes according to the IRS, and the New Orleans homes - located in the historic French Quarter - were sold at auction on Thursday.
