Melissa Etheridge to Tammy Lynn Michaels: You Put a Cigarette Out on Our KID!

Melissa Etheridge has filed legal documents claiming that her former domestic partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels, is responsible for all sorts of bad stuff. Namely accidentally burning one of their kids with a cigarette. In her EPIC dispute with Tammy, who is seeking a substantial bump in support from the $23,000 per month she gets now, wants the judge to order both her and Tammy to go smoke-free around their twins to prevent future burns. Melissa also claims Tammy has accused her of having no maternal instinct and therefore is against striking a 50/50 joint custody deal for their twins. Melissa says Tammy is adamant … she did not give birth to the children just to give them away. Melissa calls Tammy an “angry and vindictive” person. How angry and vindictive are we talking about here? Making matters worse, if that’s even possible, Etheridge says Michaels once sent her an email saying: “You have to support so many households because YOU BROKE SO MANY HOUSEHOLDS … If you had decided to have one ounce of integrity/honesty as a person or partner, you would NOT be in this predicament. Think about it.” “They aren’t leaving my care while you are on the road – a completely inappropriate place for 3-year-olds – not to mention you can’t track them, have no child care, and they were bit by dogs in the house last time you had them.” Again, there are bad celebrity breakups , and there is this.

Tammy Lynn Michaels to Melissa Etheridge: $23K Per Month Not Cutting It

Looks like Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels are still at odds. Tammy Lynn filed legal papers saying she needs more than the $23,000 per month that her ex, Melissa, is currently shelling out for spousal and child support. Like a lot more. She lists Melissa’s monthly income at almost $178,000 and their former standard of living at over $128,000 a month. Yes, a month. On living expenses. Etheridge “has extensive resources at her disposal and a tremendous earning capacity,” while Tammy Lynn says she “has limited income and virtually no savings.” The lesbian couple of nearly nine years separated in April 2010 and have two children together, five-year-old twins, daughter Johnnie Rose and son Miller. In January 2011, Melissa began dating Nurse Jackie creator Linda Wallem , Tammy’s best friend who was even in her wedding party when she married Melissa. Yeah. There are nasty breakups, and then there’s this.

Melissa Etheridge: Dating Linda Wallem, Ex-Wife’s BFF, Tabloid Reports

The split between Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels just got a lot messier. While the two continue to argue over financial issues , the singer’s personal life has now come into focus – and it’s a hurtful image for Michaels. The National Enquirer reports that Etheridge is dating Linda Wallem, a producer on Nurse Jackie and someone who was in Tammy Lynn’s wedding party when she married Melissa. “Linda has been talking constantly on the set about how she and Melissa are in love and how they’re in a committed relationship,” a source tells the tabloid. Etheridge and Michaels got married in 2003 and Wallem was right there with them, this friend says, adding: “In lesbian terms, Linda was the ‘best lady.’ Now she’s taken Tammy’s place.”

Tammy Lynn Michaels Files for Full Custody of Children

Tammy Lynn Michaels says she was “blindsided” by her break-up with Melissa Etheridge. But she’s gathered herself together enough to fight back and file for full custody of the pair’s twin children, Johnnie and Miller. While Etheridge asked for joint legal and physical custody when she initially filed for dissolution of their domestic partnership, Tammy has taken the battle a step farther: she wants full custody, reports TMZ. Michaels carried the twins to term, following a donation by an anonymous sperm donor. Tammy has also asked the court for spousal support. Both sides of the former couple cited “irreconcilable differences” as the basis for their split. They became domestic partners in August 2005 and things will likely get uglier before they get better. Tammy’s lawyer says his client has $4 to her name and: “Melissa has not been treating Tammy or the children as if they are a wife and children, financially and otherwise.” There is a major hiccup, however: Etheridge and Michaels were never technically married. Therefore, the former is not on the legal hook for a single penny once the partnership is dissolved.
