Coincidence?

When Mayim Bialik decided to file for divorce from her husband last month, the Big Bang Theory star quickly became a hot topic of conversation on The View. Soon after, though, the actress received a bit of a surprise in the mail.

"I like that less than a week after The View bashed me for my parenting choices causing my divorce, I got a residuals check for my appearance on their show from last year which was about my parenting book. Heehee," Bialik wrote on her Facebook page.

In her book, Beyond the Sling, the mother of two revealed that she still breastfeeds her 4-year-old son, and that the entire family of four shares a bed on the floor.

Bialik and her husband of nine years, Michael Stone, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. They have two children together, Miles, 7 and Frederick, 4.

"The hands-on style of parenting we practice played no role in the changes that led to this decision," the former Blossom star wrote on her website on Nov. 21. "Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose."
