Under an agreement on the terms that will finalize Kathy Griffin and Randy Bick's divorce, Bick will be allowed to visit the home he shared with the comedian with an outside “escort” to collect the rest of his belongings.
Their settlement, which Bick’s attorneys filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, follows a rocky six-month period that included conflicting allegations, with reports that Griffin kicked Bick out of the home they shared, subsequently hired a detective to find him so she could serve him with divorce papers, and he accused her of refusing to let him return to the Los Angeles home to retrieve his personal belongings.
Things seem to have calmed down a bit.
According to court documents obtained by The Times, Griffin has agreed to pay Bick a lump sum of $75,000. It’s unclear what terms were laid out in the prenuptial agreement, which was mentioned in Griffin’s divorce petition in December. But Tuesday’s filing noted that Bick’s lawyer will draft an agreement in the coming weeks covering all remaining issues in the case, including spousal support.
Court documents also indicate that Griffin had provided her ex-husband with a list and photographs of her belongings that were still in the home they shared during their marriage. With an escort, she will be allowed to return to collect them.
Griffin filed for divorce from Bick in December, just before their fourth wedding anniversary. The “My Life on the D-List” star cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and set a separation date of Dec. 22.
Bick, as People reported, is a veteran entertainment marketing executive. According to his LinkedIn profile, until December he worked as head of production at Inappropriate Laughter Inc.
Court documents indicate Griffin’s $75,000 payment to Bick was in part “reimbursement of her living expenses incurred during the 90 days following the parties’ separation.” He will also contribute to her attorneys’ fees.
Bick was Griffin's second husband. She was previously married to actor Matt Moline from 2001 to 2006, but their marriage broke up after Griffin accused Moline of taking money from her.
Griffin and Bick began dating in 2011, after meeting at a food and wine festival. They briefly split in 2018, but got back together a few months later.
