Christina Ricci Files For Divorce - Husband Allegedly SPIT ON HER During Violent Fight!

Well, this clears a few things up at least.

We were shocked and terrified for Christina Ricci after we learned “officers responded to a domestic battery radio call” at her home — followed by the Addams Family Values star getting an emergency protective order in which she and husband James Heerdegen could not come anywhere near one another.

Now we’re getting more details about the violent fight which prompted the call to the police — and the fallout for the marriage.

According to the latest report from The Blast, Christina told investigating officers her husband had assaulted her — after being “verbally abusive” towards her, she claimed, he actually SPIT ON HER! Disgusting. Thankfully there were no accusations of physical injury, but that act is technically classified as assault. Also, gross! Who could do that to their significant other?!

We still don’t know what the fight was about which caused things to get so heated, but we now know the consequences.

Christina filed for divorce on Thursday, citing the old standby of “irreconcilable differences” — just in time to get it on record before the protective order ends.

This is clearly NOT any kind of conscious uncoupling type celeb split where we’re going to get a mutual statement referencing the love the couple will continue to share as life takes them on separate paths. No, this is going to be a fight.

According to legal docs confirmed by multiple outlets, the Lizzie Borden Took An Ax star is seeking sole physical and legal custody of the couple’s 5-year-old son, Freddie. Not the kind of thing a parent will just sign away.

Sources have also informed The Blast the couple did NOT sign a prenup when they got married back in 2013. And since Christina was the big money earner for the family, per California divorce law, half of what she made in the past seven years is community property — to be split with her ex.

However, everything she made before they got married will remain her separate property, and since she’s been a star since she was like 10 years old — we’re talking The Addams Family, Casper, Now And Then — all that money is strictly Ricci’s riches.

We still don’t know what started the fight in the first place, but 2020 has not been a good year for marriages with all the quarantining…
