Court docs for Moore

-

DOCUMENTAR­IAN Kathleen Glynn is cranking up the heat on her ex-husband and fellow filmmaker Michael Moore, hauling him to court for allegedly stiffing her on profits from their movie projects. Glynn and the “Fahrenheit 9/11” director split in 2014 after 23 years of marriage, and an even longer business partnershi­p, The Post’s Julia Marsh reports. “She was the driving force in the making of many of [his] films and other ventures in which Mr. Moore was the featured personalit­y, dating back to their first big success, “Roger & Me” (1989), Glynn’s attorney Bonnie Rabin says in the new Manhattan Supreme Court suit. Glynn also produced the Academy Award-winning “Bowling for Columbine” and “Fahrenheit 9/11” — “the highest-grossing documentar­y film of all time.” The suit claims Moore has walked away from a binding arbitratio­n that was required to “flesh out the terms of an important provision in their property settlement.” Glynn claims Moore’s trying to obtain all the benefits of their 2014 settlement, where she “signed over essentiall­y all of her interest in the fruits of the parties’ joint efforts as filmmakers . . . in exchange for a promise of future revenuesha­ring by” Moore. He was supposed to pay her 4 percent of total revenue from his creative works — but he gave her just $541 in 2014, the suit says. That means he would have pulled in just $13,525 during a seven-month period, according to court papers. And Glynn’s not buying the amount of income Moore reported to the IRS — negative $350,862 in 2014 and negative $221,025 in 2016. Moore and his lawyer did not immediatel­y return messages seeking comment.
