Continuing with our theme of ugly high profile divorce cases, here's a real doozy: Patricia Duff and Revlon billionaire Ron Perelman's daughter is trying to get an order of protection against Duff. Perelman's lawyers are backing the request, with Adria Hillman citing "incredible amount of emotional abuse"; she also says that the girl "stated that she does not want to go back to her mother." Patricia Duff's attorney Yoni Levoritz says that Duff and daughter are having, "typical mother-and-teenager disagreements, noting that children of divorced parents often pit one against the other." Sure, but they don't usually ask for an order of protection, do they?
Interestingly, the New York Post has a photo of Duff entering the courthouse alone, but Perelman is with their daughter. So I guess we know which side she's on.
The couple has been divorced for some time now; Perelman has since married and divorced actress Ellen Barkin. Here's my favorite line from the article: "Perelman and Duff have each been married four times." If this kid winds up even somewhat well-adjusted, it'll be a miracle.
