Celebrity Divorce Review - Adam Carolla/Lynette Paradise (Update)

[@WKRP187]

It's scary how comfortable everyone is with the thought that some talentless chick that has lived way above her means for her contribution to the household, had nanny raise their kids and they're grown and somehow everyone thinks she deserves half his self made empire for doing nothing. F...k that nonsense

[@JJ-nu8qi]

Crazy

[@lacanidjion]

California is an ass backwards state for men's rights and marriage.

[@michaelfeeney4550]

she gets half but there is some legal work that goes into the values of the assets in CA. She gave up a promising career as a Hooters server and should get something for that. the good news is what Ace earns from the date she left is all his !!! But that Newman car is a really messin shit up.

[@deekdeegler5059]

She runs Carolla Drinks.

[@Bowiefan4ever]

@@deekdeegler5059 Thank you! Yes, she runs Carolla Drinks and has her own podcast for at least 15 yrs now.

[@thegoodchad3578]

Why is it so difficult? No human being deserves $25m for being the stay at home parent especially when they had nannies and cleaning services

[@edwardc.8031]

Men with resources or the potential to obtain resources shouldn't get married. Period.

[@christinemarie6976]

He wanted to have kids and didn't want them to be bastards

[@edwardc.8031]

@christinemarie6976 it's sad, but men having kids in our culture is a recipe for disaster.

[@alvinfew8711]

Here's the solution. Don't get a government marriage. If you want to get married, you can go to a minister, have a ceremony and all the other stuff without getting a government permission slip. In most cases, common law marriage no longer exists and you don't have to go through the divorce process if it doesn't work. If the woman you're with doesn't agree to it she's not the one.

[@mrabrasive51]

In California if you both live in the same residence for 7 years you are married.

[@jonver92]

@@mrabrasive51 not true

@@mrabrasive51 In NYC it's 9 years. Those that think you can shack up sans marriage license and avoid the cost of divorce are still playing with Hasbro toys.

[@CrustyNightSock]

Sucks for Adam, but not surprised. Lynette's life was insanely cushy. I always wondered what she did all day with no job and a full-time nanny. Spending Adam's money, no doubt, and she'll continue to do so with the divorce money.

[@SiccDeville]

she did have a failed podcast off of Adam's dime. i think she host parties with Adam's drink Mangria.

[@josephlennon3786]

Bang the e street band

[@dirkdiggler9379]

Add this is why more and more men don’t get married. It’s all a scam

[@BKPS]

She ran Carolla drinks, organized his charity stuff, and I think handled PR to some degree. For Carolla Drinks she distributed wines internationally which is impressive though I'm sure she had help. Speaking of, I bought a few bottles of Mangria myself online, and a couple of bottles in California and it was a nice product. Sad to see it go.

[@upgrayedd9732]

With the twins about to fly away from the coop, this isn't surprising. At least Adam gets to trade-in his high milage, high maint. vehicle for a brand new model, but it's gonna be costly.

[@charliedillon1400]

Adam is gonna just be a stepping stone in the Hollywood journey of that smokeshow girlfriend.

[@SiccDeville]

i think he's already got a new girl if i am not mistaken.

[@mattsheezy5469]

Adam was on The Man Show, Loveline on MTV & Loveline the radio show, he did mornings on KROC, he’s built his podcast, written so many books, and now he’s got to give her half of all he’s worked for his entire life 😳

[@chrgeorgeson]

Yup, and people still act surprised. While I agree that this should change Adam could have protected himself and done a prenuptial agreement. Again I think it's outrageous but again.... This has been common in the divorce industry (and yes it's an industry) for so many years.

[@johnkurland3912]

Why does she think she is owed that much? Ridiculous

[@Flymeonthebreeze]

For perhaps 5 years, Adam would make passive aggressive comments regarding Lynette. They always struck me that he wasn’t happy with her. For all we know, she could have felt the same. 25 years is a long time to be married. Sometimes people grow apart.

[@MrJSpicoli]

It was her religion. Covid.

[@replicas11]

Adam is a reasonable man, if there is difficulty here I can only assume it is not because of him.

[@robertdirocco1885]

Men always lose in divorce

[@paulmetesh7981]

This is a Classic American Celibrity Divorce.... AceMan is going to lose mucho $$$$ to a Female Monetary Based Carbon Unit & already has a nicer, younger one lined up 👍

[@BarneeFife]

Classic case of he was over his head with his first wife (his looks vs. hers), so he jumped on that opo,…..then she had kids and aged…… He had some success, decided he would upgrade, put a pile of cash in front of her, made the fatal mistake of starting to date right away, which , of course, REALLY pisses off the future ex. She hires a lawyer because she knows the pile of cash will be a LOT higher than the pile she put in front of her. The best part is that he is jumping right back into the fire with the new chick. Rinse and repeat.

[@christinemarie6976]

I'm pretty sure the divorce was her idea.

[@mikef7672]

Adam's assets are complicated. Geragos might be giving him advice.

[@benicio1967]

If I ever divorced a wealthy person and the law allowed for alimony I’d turn it down. Get a fair REASONABLE settlement and and be on your way. If I had young kids I’d just ask that maybe they help me keep good safe reliable transportation. That’s it. People feel entitled to enslave someone for life because a marriage goes bad and well, it’s just not right! Period!!! I could never and would never fleece someone because they had money. Leave with your self respect. It’s about honor and integrity.

[@mjs28s]

From what I gathered from listening to the show I think that Bryan and Gena moved on before Adam downsizes the staff and moves out of California. I believe he has said a number of times that as soon as the kids turn 18 he is gone. Maybe he plans on leaving as soon as the divorce is over as he likely now knows how much in capital gains taxes he will be paying in order to liquidate some of the hard assets in order to give Lynette her half.

[@michaelfeeney4550]

they don't have to sell all the assets - they can split the assets up - that Newman car though? She also qualifies for the dreaded alimony for life probably, at her age with her total lack of any employable skills. He should have dumped her at year 8 - if you are getting close to 10 years marriage in CA - reevaluate or at least evaluate

[@landajimmy]

Damn, his new gf is a smoke.

[@Jonsey-lm5sv]

WHY wouldn’t Adam have a prenup??? It’s mind boggling.

[@tripnick3]

It's all value that was made during the marriage.

[@tyd8077]

When you go back and listen to the ooooold Loveline episodes you can track when he met Lynette, moved in, got married, etc. He was head over heels for her even though he tried to pretend he wasn't. He was struck by how pretty she was and how big her boobs were. P-whipped

[@annie57eliz]

He wasn’t famous or wealthy when they got married.

[@Jonsey-lm5sv]

@@annie57eliz , yes he most definitely was.

[@adolfoliverbusch4755]

Textbook Hollywood divorce. Sucks for the aceman and u know that beeyatch is gonna drain him.

[@jemagu6]

Yes but don't forget... Lynette has been running Carolla Drinks for quite a few years now, so she has a sizable stake in that company.

[@WKRP187]

​@@jemagu6 Wow!! You mean she took it over after Adam started it from scratch and got up and running while he had 10 other jobs?? How could she run a company when she was flying all over the country chasing Bruce Springsteen shows on Adams dime... Kids are grown, she wanted out.. F...k her she deserves jackshit from him

[@muximus2771]

@@jemagu6 Ha she'll get him for tens of millions... carolla drinks is a pet project that probably breaks even. He'll be fine but he's gonna get hosed.

[@jjtheherald008]

Having a girlfriend while you're going through a divorce is totally the way to go. 80% of divorces are started by the woman, so she doesn't get a say anymore. Even if the man started the divorce he should get himself something immediate. It is called a break up because it is broken. He is looking for a salve to ease the pain.

[@bmardiney]

If women had any sense of shame, they would feel totally ashamed to take half of a man’s property merely because they got married. Utter nonsense.

[@michaelfeeney4550]

Yep -the liquid assets was what I waa thinking. Not to tip his hand but there are some very complicated issues that lawyers may find need to be litigated and negotiated. And the end result the Ace Man is gonna take it in the nuts.

[@5150Rockstar]

Marriage leads to divorce

[@SiccDeville]

the more you know.

[@christinemarie6976]

100% of divorces begin with marriage

[@UselessShyte]

AND THATS IT!!!!

[@MikeInOregon]

No woman deserves more than they entered the marriage with or earned independently. They should have to give the man 50% of their assets. Because they used him as an income source.

[@dolltall]

50/50 plus he will have to take care of his children, alimony and alienation

[@WTP_1776]

Divorce laws are an actual joke.

[@susangore7571]

Divorce is never the way out, My husband and I have been having issues before I sort out help from a spiritual adviser, I wasn't going to let my marriage of 18years crash.

[@rachelburns1461]

I’m glad you’re persevering with your husband! If it’s unsafe to stay, i encourage you to leave. God will forgive you. You are loved, and removing yourself from a harmful situation does not jeopardize that one bit

I too was blown away by the news on the first show this year. So sad. I really thought they’d make it.

[@johndoerger2733]

Nah. He had to spunk in socks and the sinks and maybe escorts while she was spending his money and blowing Bruce and the band.

I don’t think Lynette cares about the dating listening to her podcast she seems really over him never mentioning him other then when referring the kids. Now the money might be the issue.

It's easy to agree on the principle of 50 - 50 splits. The wicket gets sticky agreeing on $ values of fixed assets.

There needs to be some kind of formula that we can all live with. This way we can do away with divorce lawyers. In the old days the way man got half made sense but not anymore.

High conflict divorces are brutal for both sides. If you’re both reasonable, use a mediator to settle things and save some serious dough. Of course, that’s assuming you’re divorcing a reasonable person. If they were you’d probably still be married 😂

If Adam was gonna leave CA, the ex witch was gonna take a pay cut. No wonder baby girl wants the Sunshine bucks before he hauls ass outta state. Alimony, child care, and community property will leave him eating out of a dumpster and riding a bicycle. Too bad a 25 year career was to feed a cow he will no longer milk, cheese he won't eat and a steak he can't grill.
