Earlier this month, Ricci and Heerdegen had come to an agreement that allowed her to take her son to NYC, which included daily FaceTime calls between Heerdegen and their son.
However, the actress was called back to New York after production added a few other days to her filming schedule and asked if son Freddie could return to New York with her. Heerdegen then allegedly refused, saying that Ricci was "emotionally abusing" their son and that they'd talk about it in a hearing that week.
"I am concerned that if the hearing doesn't go Jimmy's way, he will renege. Jimmy's conduct is purposefully making me incur attorneys' fees unnecessarily and may have an impact on my employment and professional reputation."
Ricci asked for an emergency hearing. James Heerdegen agreed to let her take son Freddie, 8, on the trip but later retracted his statement.
"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.[...]"
They divorced in 2020.
