In court documents, Heerdegen accused Ricci of having their son enroll in extra-curricular activities he doesn’t enjoy. Ricci’s ex also took issue with her allegelly having him miss school to travel with her to work.
He said their son has been “regularly traveling to work with his mother in Canada for her show, Yellowjackets. Heerdegen said their son is spending 12-14 hour days when he could be in school instead.
Ricci’s ex claimed their son was even working as his mother’s personal assistant, which he said was against the law.

Heerdegen accused his ex of “psychological abuse” of their son. He claimed she bad-mouthed him in front of the child.
Further, he accused Ricci of calling Child Protective Services on him to have an investigation launched. He said the agency declined to pursue a case.
The judge ended up suspending Heerdegen’s overnight visits until a future hearing on the matter. Ricci and Heerdegen agreed to push the hearing until June, which will allow them time to attend therapy classes.
