Christina Ricciis fighting back after her ex-husband allegedly attempted to block her son from joining her on an NYC trip.
In the documents, Ricci claimed that Heerdegen agreed to let her take son Freddie, 8, on the trip but later retracted his statement.
“Jimmy’s refusal to agree causes me concern, because he clearly was being vindictive and retaliatory when he initially refused my request to travel for the additional dates. As recently as Monday, June 19 2023, Jimmy was agreeable to allowing Freddie to travel with me, but apparently he still wants to wait until our hearing to discuss it,” Ricci wrote in the documents.

Earlier this month, Ricci and Heerdegen had come to an agreement that allowed her to take her son to NYC, which included daily FaceTime calls between Heerdegen and their son.
However, the actress was called back to New York after production added a few other days to her filming schedule and asked if son Freddie could return to New York with her. Heerdegen then allegedly refused, saying that Ricci was “emotionally abusing” their son and that they’d talk about it in a hearing that week.
“I am concerned that if the hearing doesn’t go Jimmy’s way, he will renege. Jimmy’s conduct is purposefully making me incur attorneys' fees unnecessarily and may have an impact on my employment and professional reputation.”
Heerdegen was allowed to continue visiting their son through his “regular monitored visitation time” and Ricci paid for his “reasonable costs for travel and accommodations,” according to the court documents. Ricci also selected a hotel for Heerdegen should he travel to Canada for visitation.
The cinematographer was also entitled to 15-minute FaceTime calls with their son three times per week, according to the court documents.
Ricci filed for divorce from Heerdegen in July 2020. The two married in 2013 after meeting on the set ofPan Am.
