Christina Ricci and Ex James Heerdegen Back in Court Over Custody of Son After Alcohol Incident
Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- James Heerdegen, Christina Ricci's ex-husband, requested an emergency hearing over custody of their 11-year-old son, Freddie, accusing Ricci of drinking alcohol while flying with their child.
- Freddie reportedly informed Heerdegen about Ricci's alcohol consumption, but the child's legal counsel argued he "overreacted," leading to the denial of Heerdegen's request to test Ricci's alcohol levels.
- Legal documents indicate that Freddie's team found no fear in continuing custody with Ricci, and her behavior was not as Heerdegen described.
- Ricci and Heerdegen divorced in 2022 after a contentious split involving mutual abuse allegations and restraining orders, with Ricci ultimately granted primary physical custody and shared legal custody of their son.
- The couple met in 2011 on the set of Pan Am, married in 2013, and their divorce included serious allegations related to alcohol and substance abuse.
