Elizabeth Serves Up Piece of the Pie
Shannon Elizabeth has signed over a piece of the Pie to her estranged husband, Joe Reitman. Just how big a piece, however, remains unclear.
According to court documents submitted Monday, the divorcing duo reached a final settlement in a civil suit filed by Reitman in March 2006 seeking half of all assets, property, earnings and investments accumulated by the couple in the five years they lived together before marrying in June 2002.
The specific terms of the settlement were not revealed, but the agreement was conditional on some items yet to be completed, according to the court documents. However, both parties were expected to ask for a dismissal no later than April 9.
The case is separate from Elizabeth and Reitman's actual divorce proceedings, which were reportedly also nearing resolution.
Elizabeth filed for divorce in June 2005, three months after the couple announced they were separating but would remain friends.
The following March, Reitman apparently decided that friendship wasn't everything and sued his former bride for an even share of the funds she amassed though her roles in the American Pie franchise, as well as films including Scary Movie, Tomcats and Thirteen Ghosts.
The struggling actor and sometime musician claimed in his court documents that during their years of premarital cohabitation, Elizabeth had agreed to go halfsies with him "in the acquisition of assets and in financial affairs whether such transactions were separate or joint."
He also accused his estranged wife of being less than forthcoming about their agreement and hiding assets she earned during that period to avoid dividing them.
Reitman's sense of entitlement stemmed from his contention that he put his own acting career on hold to help Elizabeth break into Hollywood.
"Enhanced by plaintiff's coaching, connections, training, assistance and efforts, defendant [Elizabeth] was able to become a successful actress," his lawsuit stated.
Sadly for Reitman, he seems to have been unable to put those skills to work for himself in the days since he and Elizabeth split. Per imdb.com, his handful of recent roles include single-episode guest spots on CSI: Miami and Judging Amy, as well as a bit part as the "long-haired smoker" in M. Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water.
