It looks like Jennifer Flavin had an “Escape Plan” weeks before she filed for divorce.
The former model was photographed leaving LA hotspot Craig’s without her wedding band 11 days before she filed for divorce from Sylvester Stallone in Palm Beach County, Fla. on Aug 19.
Oddly enough, while Flavin was departing the restaurant, the “Rocky” star had been posting an ode to his canine pal Dwight, which was rumored to have prompted the divorce; however, Stallone vehemently denied a dog would cause the demise of a marriage.
“We did not end the relationship on such a trivial argument,” Stallone, 76, told TMZ, although he did concede that the couple disagreed over “how to care for the dog” given they often travel and live in two homes.
In her divorce petition, Flavin, 54, claimed that her now-estranged husband “has engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets” — and demanded that Stallone be prohibited from selling or transferring any assets during divorce proceedings.
But a source familiar with the case told Page Six that the claim was “ridiculous.”
“It’s so ridiculous, I have no idea why Jennifer’s lawyers put this in the divorce petition, it’s just a pure lie,” the insider shared. “Sly hasn’t sold as much as a T-shirt!”
While we’re told the “Daylight” star was “blindsided” by the divorce filing, the action star explained the split away by describing their lives as headed in “different directions.”
“I have the highest respect for Jennifer,” he said in a statement “I will always love her. She’s an amazing woman. She’s the nicest human being I’ve ever met.”
The former couple first began dating in 1988, when Flavin was a 19-year-old model and Stallone was 42 and twice divorced. After an on-again-off-again relationship, the pair married in 1997 and share three daughters: Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet.
