Jennifer Tilly Spills Piping Hot Tea On Divorce Settlement From 'Simpsons' Co-Creator
HuffPost
The "Chucky" actor shared some remarkable details Tuesday about her 1993 divorce from the late Sam Simon.
Jennifer Tilly is spilling some piping hot tea on her lucrative divorce from the late animator Sam Simon.
Tilly, known for her performances in “Bound” (1996), “Liar Liar” (1997) and the “Child’s Play” franchise, joined “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” this season — and has already revealed some eye-popping details about her 1993 settlement.
“My ex-husband was Sam Simon, who created ‘The Simpsons,’” she said during Tuesday’s episode of “Housewives.” “I was married to him for seven years. We were together for about 10 years, and then when we got divorced, I got a piece of ‘The Simpsons’ in the divorce settlement.”
While the animated series was officially created by Matt Groening, Simon co-developed “The Simpsons” and has remained credited as an executive producer since the 1989 premiere. Tilly married Simon in 1984 and reportedly filed her divorce petition in 1992.
A 1993 judgment obtained Wednesday by In Touch Weekly confirms that Simon agreed to pay Tilly half of all his producing or writing residuals from a specific period of their marriage — and at least 25% of all income he made from each “Simpsons” episode or film.
