American Pie star Seann William Scott’s plans to sell his house allegedly “blindsided” his estranged wife, Olivia Korenberg, according to new court documents.
Korenberg, 35, filed to modify the pair’s custody and child support arrangement of daughter Frankie, 4, on Tuesday, June 3. She argued that Scott’s previous motions in their divorce case contained “numerous false statements,” including one regarding his attempts to sell their family home in California.
“When Seann emailed me on December 1, 2024, regarding his intent to sell the S. Drive home, I was completely blindsided,” Korenberg claimed in her court filing, obtained by Us Weekly. “In the same email, he provided me with less than a month’s notice to apply to private schools during a period of major instability where I had no idea where we would relocate or what I could afford.”
Korenberg further alleged that Scott, 48, did not advise that he “intended on selling his Malibu home and relocating to Venice.”
“Further, Seann states that his move was motivated by a desire to improve his commute, not by any consideration for Frankie’s well-being — which speaks volumes regarding Seann’s priorities,” she claimed. “Seann, through his counsel, repeatedly emphasized that Frankie and I could remain in the S. Drive home until Frankie was 18 years old, yet our sudden eviction completely ignores Frankie’s well-being and stability.”
Korenberg believes that Scott’s sudden desire to move and sell their Malibu house was “wholly motivated by [her] new romantic relationship.”
Scott filed for divorce in February 2024, with Korenberg alleging that he was still “making romantic advances” toward her until October 2024. (Scott has not publicly addressed any of Korenberg’s recent claims. Us has reached out for comment.)
Scott and Korenberg currently alternate custody of Frankie every two days, which the interior designer claims “lacks stability and structure.”
“As Frankie grows, she will require a consistent educational routine and secure home base. His claim that he should be the primary custodian is not credible given his limited involvement in Frankie’s daily life and unpredictable work schedule,” Korenberg’s docs state. “Most importantly, it would cause tremendous trauma to Frankie, who has a strong attachment to me and a clear preference for me, particularly when she is sick or in distress.”
While Korenberg doesn’t question Scott’s “affection” for their daughter, she maintains that she should be the primary parent.
“Furthermore, I have made consistent efforts to facilitate positive coparenting, in contrast to Seann’s lack of reciprocal efforts,” she argues. “[It] demonstrates my greater inclination and ability to maintain a healthy coparenting relationship with Seann if I were permitted to move a further distance from Seann.”
