St. John- Fairchild divorce takes another nasty turn

The high-society divorce between
Whitney St. John and James B. Fairchild
took another nasty turn when warring
husband and wife faced each other on
either side of a gate at their marital
mansion.
As directed by a court order, a
photographer, appraiser and engineer
arrived at the couple’s Bridgehampton
home Wednesday to catalog its
condition and contents — including
jewelry, clothes, furniture, paintings,
rugs — before the couple’s divorce trial
on Oct. 15.
But sources said St. John was waiting
for the inspectors with a security guard
who demanded their IDs and to escort
them around the property. Meanwhile,
Fairchild was watching on the other
side of the gate in case the team
encountered any issues.
But things quickly got so ugly, the
inspectors gave up and left the house
after 20 minutes without completing
the appraisal. “They didn’t get very
far,” a source said. “Whitney hired
some sort of goon to guard I don’t know
what.”
Sources added that St. John refused to
move a car that was blocking the
photographer’s shot of the home,
refused to allow the fotog’s assistant to
enter the gate and told the workers they
were required to be with her guard at
all times.
When the workers objected, St. John
allegedly told one, “You can’t be here!”
The appraiser left, and the socialite told
the rest to scram and that she’d
reschedule, sources added.
Fairchild lawyer Michael Stutman said
St. John “has resisted fairness at every
turn” and “turned her nose up with
impunity” at the court’s order. “It’s
astonishing.”
But St. John’s lawyer Don Shlimbaum
said, “Mr. Fairchild’s version, as usual,
does not reflect what happened at all.
Without going into the true scenario,
Mr. Fairchild should be reminded that
he was not even to be at my client’s
residence for this inspection. Yet, like a
traffic cop, he was there directing
inspection ingress and egress.
“Mr. Fairchild unfortunately is unable
to comply with simple directives of the
court, which will not serve him well in
a trial.”
