Christina Ricci ‘files for divorce’ from husband James Heerdegen after getting restraining order
Christina Ricci has filed for divorce from her husband, James Heerdegen, after being granted an emergency protective order against him earlier this week.
TMZ reported Christina, 40, filed for divorce from her film producer husband of nearly seven years on Thursday morning in Los Angeles.
She requested sole legal and physical custody of their son Freddie, 5.
The outlet reported there is no prenup.
The divorce filing came after the actress was granted an emergency protective order against James.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call at her Woodland Hills, California home on June 25.
The Blast reported James spit on The Addams Family alum during the domestic altercation.
Christina allegedly told investigators that her husband had been “verbally abusive” and that she needed a restraining order because she was “in fear of her husband.”
The outlet also reported James, who was not arrested, had been ordered to move out of their Los Angeles home.
