After 20 years of marriage, Weezer bassist Scott Shriner's wife, Jillian Lauren Shriner, has filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. The couple shares two minor children, and Jillian is seeking joint custody along with spousal support. This comes months after Jillian's highly publicized run-in with the law.
Oh honey, grab your popcorn because the Shriner household just got a whole lot messier. According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, Jillian Lauren Shriner wasted no time and headed to court on Tuesday to file for divorce from her hubby of two decades, Weezer's low-key bassist Scott Shriner. The reason? The classic 'irreconcilable differences' – because sometimes, words are just placeholders for all that built-up drama. 😏
Date of separation? Still TBD, because even the calendar's playing coy here. But let's talk family: the couple has two kids under their wing – a 17-year-old and a 13-year-old – and Jillian's pushing for joint legal and physical custody. Smart move, keeping things civil for the little ones. She's also asking for spousal support, and – shade alert – she checked the box to slam the door on Scott getting any in return. Prenup? Your guess is as good as ours; it's unclear if one exists to spice up the proceedings.
This isn't the Shriner's first headline-grabber this year, though. Rewind to April, when Jillian allegedly pointed and fired a gun at LAPD officers searching for a suspect near their Eagle Rock home. Yikes! She was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a peace officer, but charges were dialed back to assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm. Lucky for her, a judge granted diversion due to mental health issues, so no jail time – just a whole lot of therapy vibes, we hope.
Talk about a rocky year: from cop drama to court filings, the Shriners are serving up real-life plot twists. So, is this the end of an era, or just the intermission before act two?
