This situation is taking a turn for the worse.

A contentious divorce involving the heir to the American Eagle Outfitters fortune has reportedly left his former wife burdened with over $100,000 in debt, according to information obtained by Page Six.

Ariella Schottenstein initiated divorce proceedings against Jeffrey Schottenstein in May. Jeffrey is the son of the billionaire and chairman of American Eagle, Jay Schottenstein.

In August, Jeffrey, who was allegedly recorded criticizing his then-pregnant wife as “unfit to be a mother,” responded by filing his own legal action against her.

Currently, the prominent divorce law firm, Chemtob Moss Forman & Beyda, has taken legal action against Ariella, alleging she owes the firm a total of $112,002.41.

She was served on December 8. 

Jeffrey proposed to Ariella in March 2022 via a messages and photos on American Eagle’s Times Square billboard and LeBron James attended their wedding at Cipriani 25 Broadway.

=The divorce has been rocky from the start.

“After the baby’s born, I’m gonna have to make — I will not let my kids see this fighting,” Jeffrey, a principal at the family-led furniture business American Signature, was caught saying on tape to a former family bodyguard.

Jeffrey was sued in 2019 for allegedly threatening his shrink, who accused Schottenstein in court filings of being addicted to various drugs and seeing hookers.

That case was dropped in 2021.

The Schottenstein family was worth a reported $2.7 billion in 2015, when Forbes named them one of America’s richest.

While social media may have flipped out over American Eagle’s “Great Jeans” ad starring Sydney Sweeney, customers didn’t seem to be put off, and the company’s stock has gone up 136% over the past six months.
