Gyllenhaal Parents Are Broke.

The divorcing parents of Hollywood stars Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal are facing financial ruin, according to new court documents obtained by the media.
Stephen Gyllenhaal and Naomi Foner separated last January and are seeking to end their 31-year marriage.
In court papers filed in Los Angeles and obtained by TMZ.com, Naomi reveals how she struggled to make an income through her work as a screenwriter, and had to take out a loan to survive during the 2007/2008 Writer’s Guild of America Strike.
She claims she has been left to foot mortgage and insurance payments on the former couple’s four homes, because her estranged husband , a TV director, has refused to assist her.
“During our marriage, our expenses tended to outpace our income. Accordingly, we accumulated a certain amount of debt…”
“I have repeatedly asked Stephen to pay his one-half share of our bills, and he has refused to do so.”
“As recently as the end of September Stephen has told me that he recognises ‘that things are reaching a really dangerous point in terms of the finances… I can’t be clearer that you can’t expect me to help any more with this situation.’ He further stated, ‘I have been clear that worse comes to worse, I will let all of this collapse into ruin, just as I believe letting the markets crash and burn are the right approach. Pain now for clarity and balance later.’”
While that sounds awfully harsh! We have no idea what the real story is or why her soon to be ex-husband refuses to pay up-However, it does make you feel very sorry for her or anyone in that situation!

I’ve known Steve and Naomi since they first came to town almost 30 years ago with their baby in tow. Trust me, if you heard the whole story you wouldn’t feel sorry for her.
