Are Ex's Friends Sabotaging Elisabeth Moss?

By Rob Shuter Posted Sep 22nd 2010 01:15PM

'Mad Men' star Elisabeth Moss filed divorce papers in Los Angeles to end her brief marriage to 'SNL'er Fred Armisen just three days ago, and I've already learned that Fred's friends are the ones feeding tabloid stories about her religion to try and sabotage the young actress.

One of Fred's friends told Us Weekly that her ties to the Church of Scientology were the reason they split. "Her religion was as important to her as their marriage, if not more," another pal told Us. "He could not get with it."

However, Elisabeth's friends tell me this had nothing to do with the breakup.

"Lizzie is trying really hard to handle this horrible divorce in a dignified manner," an insider tells me. "She is heartbroken that Fred's friends have run to the press leaking nasty stories about her and her beliefs when everyone knows Fred was the problem in this marriage."

My sources tell me Elisabeth has asked her pals to "not get down in the dirt like him" and try to take the high road in the split.

But her friends add, "If these attacks on her continue, the real truth will come out and it isn't going to be pretty."

Since the split, Armisen hasn't been brooding alone. He has already been linked with 'SNL' co-star Abby Elliot, 23, while Elisabeth has remained single.

his friends need to stay out of their divorce. divorce is hard enough without his friends putting their thoughts into it. they married each other, not their buddies also.

I agree. Both of the their friends need to stay out of it and keep their mouths shut. This divorce doesn't concern them.

So, color me crazy, but aren't her friends doing the exact same thing his are? It's not really the high road to say "they're doing this and it's all his fault and we have so much dirt on him."

Friends are in a weird position when a friend breaks up. I actually felt sorry for the ex of one of my friends, but it's natural to defend those who are close to you.
Whatever happened between fred and elizabeth is their story. It takes two to make a marriage and to break one up. Elizabeth is taking the high road and I think fred is hurting too. I wish them both well because we have ALL been there.

Now this must of came up before the marriage? Sad that it tore it apart. There should be a way for people to be both religions and love each other. God preaches love. I know having been in a family of two diffrent faiths and married over 40 years. It can work, you have to want it to work.

But is Elizabeth a Scientologist? Very sad if true.

By Nico Toscani

Scientologists get what they deserve. I hope he cheated on her and had a GOOD time.

I respect him for not getting involved in that cult. Good for him.
