Notes from the Divorce Files
After years of toiling away in obscurity, SNL alum Joe Piscopo has finally managed to make headlines again, thanks to an ugly divorce. Piscopo — who had been trying to live with his wife during the separation — hightailed it to family court last week to get a restraining order against his wife, citing domestic violence allegations. Piscopo is 6’1, and his wife, Kimberly, is a 5’5 model. But as Piscopo’s lawyer stated, “It doesn’t take a very large person to spit and use foul language.”
But if you prefer large people that spit and use foul language, we give you Tom Arnold, who is filing for a legal separation this week. Mr. Arnold, who doesn’t quite lack the talent of Piscopo, is looking to get divorced for the third time. Unfortunately, there are no shenanigans yet involved.
But if you want divorce shenanigans, you need look no further than Deric Gendron, of West Brookfield, Massachusetts. Mr. Gendron’s marriage didn’t get off to its best start after he was arrested outside of the reception area, where he got into a fight with one of the guests who was allegedly groping the bride. So upset with the matter, Gendron even kicked an arresting police officer during the scuffle. Within minutes of that arrest, Gendron’s new bride – who he’d only been married to for a matter of hours – took out a restraining order against him. Later that night — after he was released on bail — Gendron was arrested once again, this time for calling his wife and asking for a divorce, which violated the terms of the restraining order.
There is no word on whether the couple plans to attend the honeymoon together.
