Christina Ricci’s divorce may have been finalized in 2022 but things have remained bitter as her ex-husband has filed a request for an emergency hearing over their custody agreement.

The 46-year-old star’s ex James Heerdegen went to court to claim that their 11-year-old son Freddie contacted him recently alleging that Ricci drank alcohol during their June 16 flight to Canada.

Daily Mail has reached out to Ricci’s representatives for comment and have yet to hear back.

However, when Freddie spoke to his legal representative he insisted that he had ‘overreacted’ in sending the text messages.

It was added that Freddie had ‘no fear in continuing to be’ in the custody of his mother.
