This Is Going to Be Fun

Via Smoking Gun:
Michael Moore, Wife Tangle Over Divorce Dollars

With his divorce trial looming, Michael Moore is battling his wife over the valuation of the couple’s assets, while branding her a spendthrift who “unilaterally wasted a large percentage of the marital funds” building a lakefront mansion that has prompted mocking news stories about the activist filmmaker’s wealth.

Moore and Kathleen Glynn are scheduled for trial next month in a Michigan courtroom not far from the sprawling Torch Lake residence that the Hollywood power contends became a money pit that cost five times what his wife claimed she would spend on the home.

Moore, 60, and Glynn, 56, were married nearly 23 years ago and have no children. According to court filings, the couple (seen at right) differs on when they separated. Moore claims it was in August 2010, while Glynn says the pair parted last June, when Moore filed for divorce in a Michigan Circuit Court.

While witness lists submitted to the court are filled with the names of assorted property appraisers, Moore has reported that he intends to call Hollywood super agent Ari Emanuel as an “expert witness.” The nature of the expected testimony from Emanuel, co-CEO of the William Morris Endeavor agency, is not described in court papers. Moore has also included Morton Janklow, one of the country’s top literary agents, on his witness list.

Glynn’s witness list includes experts who will testify about the value of Moore’s web site as well as the director’s “celebrity status and continued ability to earn an income.” Glynn produced several of Moore’s films, including “Fahrenheit 9/11,” the highest grossing documentary ever. Like Moore, Glynn is a Flint, Michigan native. Included among the nearly 300 items on Moore’s trial exhibit list are six stories published in 2011 about the Torch Lake compound. Each of the articles described the luxury residence, while some of the reports noted that the Occupy Wall Street supporter was living like a member of the “1%.” ...
Moore and Glynn jointly own “multiple substantial residences and multiple companies,” including Dog Eat Dog Films, the production company behind hit movies like “Roger & Me” and “Bowling for Columbine.” The couple’s real estate holdings include a total of nine properties in Michigan and New York. The duo co-owns a Manhattan condo that was created through the combination of three separate units.

  1. Granted I cant talk and have no interested in getting married (I think marriage is just one big lie) but it's amusing to see that someone actually wanted to spend their life with that scum sucking bastard Moore.

    1. I'd say they're both on the plus side. Supersize me!

  3. For a guy who bashes on capitalism so often (although, granted, it's often crony capitalism), he seems to have done pretty well for himself under a system that supposedly represses the lower classes.

    I wonder how much of his "stuff" he'd be willing to simply donate to the poor and needy?

    1. Yup. Well now the institution he worships so much (like like any idiot lefty) and the foolish ideology of feminism will probably fuck him over in divorce court. That blubber butt will doubtlessly learn NOTHING though. Most morons never learn. Why should he be any different?

  4. I hope Moore doesn't pass up his big chance to live like the 99%.

    1. No doubt. I cannot imagine how the wealth he has had to endure has torn at the very fiber of his being. Poor soul.

  5. Oh sure, blame your wife for your 1%-er lifestyle. What a lowlife. Nothing irks me more in life than hypocrites. You worked hard and created value. You have the right to enjoy the fruit of your labor. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this confused soul
