Final week actress/producer Reese Witherspoon introduced publicly that she was getting divorced from her husband of 12 years, Jim Toth. Whereas all studies have been that the cut up is amicable and the 2 are dedicated to co-parenting their son Tennessee collectively, there are pure questions relating to what led to the cut up. And one of many issues that has just lately come up is how failed streaming platform Quibi suits into the story.
Jim Toth had been a expertise agent with CAA for 23 years when he made the choice to go away the corporate in 2019 as a way to be a part of Quibi, the short-form, video streaming service began by former Disney and Dreamworks government Jeffrey Katzenberg. Toth was the platform’s head of content material acquisitions and expertise. In keeping with Radar On-line, who spoke with an “insider” the transfer was one thing of a raffle, and Witherspoon was much less positive than Toth that it was one value taking. The insider claimed…
Toth didn’t deliver house tens of millions. Quibi misplaced cash out of the gate and that by no means modified. Quibi had an immense quantity of hype, however the viewers for the product by no means materialized and the service shut down after solely about six months. The idea took an enormous gamble on the concept individuals had been going to wish to watch conventional streaming content material on their telephones in small chunks. That didn’t transform the case.
Whereas it’s actually attainable that the Quibi state of affairs contributed to the choice between Resee Witherspoon and Toth to divorce, from all studies there was much more happening, or so much much less because the case could also be. The pair have apparently been dwelling very separate lives over the previous few months, with individuals on the within claiming that whereas Witherspoon and Toth have been mother and father collectively, they haven’t been a lot else.
Whereas it’s removed from unusual to see superstar divorces flip ugly and get dragged out for years, up to now this one appears to be like to be going easily. If the pair actually have simply drifted aside romantically, then they nonetheless like one another and may be capable to transfer ahead with out a lot problem.
They’re planning to co-parent their son collectively, so baby custody shouldn’t be a major situation, because it presently is different superstar splits in the mean time. There are even indications that the 2 ready for his or her eventual divorce as Witherspoon bought some actual property final yr, making splitting up the cash between them a lot simpler.
