Christina Ricci claimed that her ex-husband, James Heerdegen, blocked her plans to bring their son, Freddie, along on a recent work trip to New York City.Ricci, 43, alleged that Heerdegen, 45, initially agreed that she could bring their son, 8, on the getaway but eventually changed his mind, according to court documents obtained by Page Six on Saturday, June 24.“Jimmy’s refusal to agree causes me concern because he clearly was being vindictive and retaliatory when he initially refused my request to travel for the additional dates,” the Yellowjackets star alleged in her filing earlier this month. “As recently as Monday, June 19, 2023, Jimmy was agreeable to allowing Freddie to travel with me, but apparently he still wants to wait until our hearing to discuss it.”Ricci filed the motion to request an emergency court hearing regarding their custody arrangement.The Addams Family actress and Heerdegen tied the knot in 2013.

After six years of marriage, Ricci filed an emergency protective order amid domestic violence allegations. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in July 2020 that the motion had been granted and the twosome were unable to have any contact.

Heerdegen was not arrested nor did he address the allegations at the time. Ricci filed for divorce that July, which was ultimately finalized in December 2022.Amid their legal battle, Ricci also petitioned the court for full custody of Freddie.

Us confirmed in April 2021 that Ricci had been granted sole legal custody of their son with Heerdegen given visitation rights.
