ABC Loses Kate Walsh Court Battle

 Kate Walsh Court BattleABC televison was shot down in court today by the estranged hubby of Kate Walsh.

The judge ruled Alex Young can make ABC Prez Stephen McPherson sit for a deposition, and answer all sorts of questions about Walsh's financial prospects at ABC -- pilots, development deals, etc.

Walsh and Young were only together as husband and wife for 14 months, but it's turning into one of the most bitter divorces in Hollywood.

ABC claims Young is harassing her and ABC and the motive is $$$.

And here's the best quote from the ABC lawyer: "It's as if Manny Ramirez was getting divorced and the first deposition they want to take is the president of ESPN."

The judge disagreed, so now Young's lawyer can grill the ABC honcho.

31. #27 A tabloid trash story by Star does not equal truth. A story that was denied by her reps. What about the tabloid/media stories about him? Texting women, being gay, and control freak! So if you are saying a tabloid story about her is truth then I guess the ones about Alex are truth as well. So that makes him a cheater, gay, and a control freak.

There are pap pics of Kate Walsh going to her lawyers offices two days before he filed. He just beat her to the punch so he could safe face. Now he is controlling her and trying to steal her money.

34. @ J She was spotted going to CAA, who are her agents. Her divorce lawyer does NOT work in that building. Check your facts. And you best had watch what you say, that sounds like "libel and defamation" to me.

35. This is way beyond money. She has pissed him off somehow and thats what this is about. I think she is coming off as the less innocent party. These little cases are just making her look stupid and surely can't be doing her case any favors whatsoever.

36. #29 Some people do not believe in prenups. So I don't blame her for not getting one. I myself probaly would not get one even if I was rich. It is like predicting it will fail or you don't trust your spouse. So she got engaged after 3 months and married him 4 months latter. I don't find it stupid. My sister married after a month and they are together 3 yrs later. I know people who knew their husband for years before, married, then got a divorce after a year or so. No guarantee with marriages.

As for the comment "he has his own money why would he want her money", Don't ya know this is America. You can never be to rich or to thin. Duh.

37. This man is pathetic - who wants to rest on your ex-wife of 14 months $? Grow a set and provide for yourself - many job are not even "vested" until 10 years - why should he get anything anyway - too bad Katie didn't do a pre-nup - might have saved a lot of crap.

38. @V Oops Your right I did. My apologies to the soon to be ex Mr. Kate Walsh.

40. "The judge ruled Alex Young can make ABC Prez Stephen McPherson sit for a deposition, and answer all sorts of questions about Walsh's financial prospects at ABC -- pilots, development deals, etc."

Seems to me he is going after future earnings. This is not right. He is not entitled to any of it after the official divorce. If the judge allows it, Kate should take a sabbatical from acting. Say goodbye to hollywood, no job, no income coming in for a year or so. Become a bum, a hobo, go to Bermuda or Jamaica, do charity work. After the divorce is over, she can resume her career. She need to grow a brain and be careful about who she dates and learn about pre-nups. This is not hard people.

I heard theyr are both tools. Blech!

41. wonder who she cheated with??. sooooo obvious she screwed up bad for him to go after abc

42. He is a Fox Exec. All those assholes care about is money. They would take money from their own grandmother. Best of Luck Ms. Walsh.

Alex Leave her alone and Grow a Pair!

43. Yes #30, you are so right!

She only knew the dude three months (not weeks) but sorry, she deserves to be taken to the cleaners and then some.

I also hate her, especially in those lame car commercials. You do Alex!

44. What kind of person says "I hope he takes her to the cleaners"? How would you feel if someone said it about you? How would you feel if somone was trying to take your money? Be careful what you say, those words may come back to bite you in your ass.

It is a dumb comment to say because he can only get half and she will get half of his. Good Luck Kate.

45. He's committed career suicide by harassing ABC Prexy. He also revealed that he is penniless. As for Kate, so disappointed that she would be idiotic enough to marry this pathetic excuse for a man. In future she might try widening her horizons with creative charity endeavors.
