David Lynch, the man behind “Twin Peaks,” “Mulholland Drive” and “Blue Velvet,” is on the receiving end of a divorce petition.
David’s wife, Emily, has filed to end their 14-year marriage, and it doesn’t seem all that amicable.
The 77-year-old directing legend’s wife is asking for sole legal and physical custody of their 11-year-old daughter. Emily wants David to have visitation rights, but that’s it.
Emily is also asking for spousal support and attorney’s fees.
There’s no evidence of a prenup, but David has been a major force in Hollywood for decades. He’s also directed “The Elephant Man,” “Wild at Heart,” “Lost Highway,” and “Inland Empire.”
This is David’s fourth marriage.
