Stephanie Seymour Divorce: 'All the Kids Had Memories of Her Drunk'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 28th 2010 02:04PM

Former Victoria's Secret model Stephanie Seymour is going through a messy divorce involving drugs, alcohol and missed court dates.

The New York Post reports Seymour, 40, was "recently hauled into a Connecticut courtroom after she missed court-ordered [drug] testing while vacationing in St. Barts with two of her kids in March."

While Seymour's marriage to entrepreneur Peter Brant may have seemed idyllic, dark claims about her indulgences are surfacing. Lawyer Lacey Bernier, who represents the interests of Stephanie and Peter's three children together, "became worried about Seymour's mixing prescription drugs with alcohol after speaking with Seymour's nanny, Cora Driv," the Post reports.

"All of the kids that I interviewed, they all had memories of her drunk," Bernier says.

Seymour filed for divorce in March 2009. The Post says Seymour's drinking and drug abuse are a "critical point of contention" in the split. Seymour's lawyer dropped her after the former supermodel failed to show up for drug testing. They had "a very strained relationship that culminated in [its] termination," court documents reveal.

Although Seymour was not held in contempt of court for missing the drug test, her husband's lawyers have asked the judge to forbid her to drink, saying she "has a proclivity for combining alcohol with various prescription drugs."

Seymour was previously married to guitarist Tommy Andrews. Her first son, Dylan Thomas Andrews, was born in 1991, after the yearlong marriage had fallen apart. She then dated acting legend Warren Beatty (33 years her senior) before becoming involved with Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose. The two had a tumultuous relationship. PEOPLE reported in 1993:

"Rose, 31, brought [legal action] Aug. 27 in Los Angeles Superior Court against Stephanie Seymour, 24, the Victoria's Secret supermodel he had reportedly been engaged to marry. The two broke up in February, and Rose is now suing her for assault, battery and the recovery of more than $100,000 worth of jewelry."

At the time of the PEOPLE article, Seymour had just begun seeing Brant.

What other way are her children suppose to remember her like ?? The kids probably relate more to their nanny than their mom who was out partying and living it up when she should`ve been like a mom and take care of her kids..But what else would you expect from a hollywood parent ???

By Mel

She lived in NYC, not Hollywood. You don't even know her.

By rominakatz

She lives in Greenwich, Ct. These are false alligations, typical of a divorce where money is the biggest love of the husband.

By Anthony

Who cares where she lives. A super model drunk and butt naked that loves to party.....yeah baby!!

It appears she is a good mother. Just because she has or desires a life in addition to being a mother does NOT make her a bad mother. Many responsible parents have 'nannies' to help take care of their children. Many responsible parents have 'friends' and 'family' members to help take care of their childred. So what? She deserves to be whatever she chooses just as you and I do. PS If I had their money, I'd have tons of children to love and support (to include adopting)

Excuse me, Jess, since when was a Victoria's Secret MODEL a "Hollywood Parent"? Victoria's Secret started in San Francisco and is now based in Ohio. Seymour grew up in San Diego.
Bashing "Hollywood parents" is pretty silly. Apparently Ms Seymour has addiction problems....a whole lot of American people do. Rather than bashing/judging why not hope for the best for the kids, her ex's and her? Being unkind never got anyone anywhere.

Eliza, how old are you? If she weren't so gorgeous, would you think she was a wonderful person? Stories like this make me take less stock in "beautiful" people who are totally dysfunctional.

By chapoocha

We at least I'll bet the first wife is having a good laugh!

By Michael Sexton

Did I miss something? Is it illegal to drink alcohol again? No? then what's the big deal. Did she go to jail while drunk? Sounds like she's more responsible than a lot of people in the good ole u s of a

I love drunk washed up super model milfs.....they do it all!

Just another "poor little rich girl" addicted to self-indulgence.

By Mike

I think the judge should arrange for ms seymour despite her age to be administered a good old fashioned on nonsense disciplinary spanking on her ample bare bottom with her very own hairbrush in the privacy of the judges chambers!!!That would definitely get her attention and cooperation.

No, Michael, it's not illegal to drink alcohol. But when an addiction takes precedence over responsibilities, it does great, and usually permanent damage to friends and family. And just FYI - it's very DANGEROUS to mix drugs (of any kind) with alcohol.

By Bella

Nan, I could not agree with you more! I know ALL TOO WELL the devastation alcohol can cause to an individual and their loved ones. Some alcoholics are quiet and hide it well, and some are loud and abusive. Bottom line,,,alcohol and drug abuse effects the entire family, and not in a good way!
So, it does not matter if it is a famous person, a friend, loved one or neighbor, alcohol always causes emotional turmoil to those around it!

By m

This is just BS. And if AOL or anybody in the media really cared about the detriment of writing such things as this and the repercussions it will have on Ms.Seymour and the relationship with her kids ( if she doesn't lose them thanks to these allegations) it would be a better world! Brandt is a powerful behind the scenes loser who is trying to stick it to her anyway he can and AOL and whatever this news feed is fell for the bait.
I live in a place where she frequented. Any time I ever saw a picture of her in the local paper ALWAYS had her with her children and she was far from drunk when her husband was busy riding a (POLO) pony that could barely support the weight of him!

Dear "m" - Just because YOU never saw her drunk doesn't mean she isn't one (a drunk, that is). It's not how MUCH one drinks, or WHEN they inbibe. It's what the alcohol DOES to the person when they DO drink. Oh, and one more thing - alcoholic women (statistically) are more likely than men to be closet drinkers. You need to educate yourself before you continue to deny, and enable, her addiction.

By CherCher

I don't doubt that she drinks or gets drunk. Most Americans do. This whole issue I believe is being exagerated to deny her custody of her children and whatever monetary settlement that she is entitled to under Law in this divorce.

Boy do you have that wrong

NanHahn (stupid thinkingperson) shut your mouth and do the world a favor and go overdose!!!
