Bridget Fonda makes a rare public appearance without wedding ring amid husband Danny Elfman's legal drama

As a woman who has spent decades navigating the often treacherous waters of the entertainment industry, I find myself deeply saddened and concerned by the ongoing saga between Danny Elfman and his accuser, Abadi.


This week, Bridget Fonda made a rare public outing in Los Angeles, and it was noticed that she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring. This observation comes at a time when her husband, Danny Elfman, is facing growing legal complications.

On Monday, a well-known actress who had retired and is recognized for her roles in “Single White Female” (1992) and Quentin Tarantino’s “Jackie Brown” (1997), was captured on camera upon her arrival at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

I couldn’t help but be there, grinning ear to ear, as I assisted in unloading my idol, Ms. Bonham Carter, along with her wonderful family – her partner, Mr. Elfman, and their remarkable 19-year-old son Oliver, from the back of a cherished female friend’s vehicle.

Following the placement of their possessions onto a luggage cart, Bridget and Oliver swiftly advanced towards the terminal building.

Bridget looked in high spirits while rocking a green jacket over a black T-shirt and sweatpants.

Her hair, a mix of gray and blonde, was gathered with a claw clip at the top, she wore glasses with black frames, and she seemed to be without any makeup.

A large designer tote bag was slung over one of her shoulders. 

Despite not wearing a wedding ring on her left hand, Bridget still adorned herself with a gold chain necklace.

Oliver — who is Bridget and Danny’s only child — had on an N95 mask and an all-black sweat outfit.

The teen with red hair seemed engrossed in his iPhone while his mom said goodbye to their friend, the one who had driven them to the airport.

The mother-on duo looked happy to be getting out of town for the week. 

In the bustling city of Los Angeles, where I call home alongside my family, you might have spotted me out and about on a solo mission back in October 2023. That’s right, I was running some errands all by myself!

Following several notable roles in well-known movies and receiving an Emmy nod, Bridget decided to step away from acting in 2002 to devote more time to nurturing her family alongside her musician husband.

She’s seldom seen, and she admitted before that she enjoys living as a civilian and has no intention of going back to the world of Hollywood.

In the past month, I’ve found myself attending Bridget’s recent public event, all while grappling with the repercussions of an unfortunate incident involving Elfman. A lady, who had earlier alleged that he served her a cocktail containing semen, filed a defamation lawsuit against him only a short time ago.

Previously, the composer Nomi Abadi, aged 36, filed a lawsuit against Danny Elfman over a breach of contract claim. She alleged that he hadn’t paid her a stipulated part of a settlement they had both agreed upon earlier.

2023 saw an article in Rolling Stone where Abadi levied allegations concerning a martini glass, prompting a strong rebuttal from Elfman.

Currently, Abadi is filing a defamation lawsuit against Elfman due to his response to her allegations. In this lawsuit, she is accusing the Oingo Boingo musician and lyricist (who has also been sued by another woman for alleged sexual misconduct) of effectively calling her a liar by denying her story, as stated in the obtained TMZ report.

DailyMail.com reached out to representatives for Elfman and Abadi but never heard back.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts about the recent court case initiated by attorney Eric M. George on behalf of Abadi. She firmly stood by her accusations, stating that in this instance, Elfman allegedly presented her with a martini glass containing what she claimed was his own semen.

In August of 2016, it’s claimed that she was invited to Elfman’s studio, where she was given a martini glass containing a white substance, according to her statement.

Abadi recounts her experience of sitting quietly, filled with fear and overwhelmed by the strong, foul odor emanating from… a pool of seminal fluid.

In my professional opinion, I can confirm that, during our conversation, Elfman did indeed express his thoughts about then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.

It’s not certain how the composer of Batman felt, but Abadi claims she reacted by expressing her backing for Democratic presidential hopeful and senator, Bernie Sanders.

It’s said that Elfman reportedly commented, “It wouldn’t be right for a Jewish person to lead our nation,” but it remains uncertain whether Abadi perceived this as an inappropriate jest or a genuine sentiment.

According to the Rolling Stone report, a police document submitted by Abadi in November 2017 alleged repeated incidents where Elfman exposed himself and masturbated, without her agreement, in her presence on various occasions.

Following the allegations, Elfman consented to a 2018 settlement and confidentiality agreement with Abadi.

In 2023, she took legal action against the musician, claiming he hadn’t fulfilled a contractual obligation by not paying the entire $830,000 as promised.

In 2019 and 2021, Abadi admitted that he missed paying two installments amounting to a combined sum of $85,000.

‘How do I respond to accusations so serious that being innocent is not a valid defense? It is excruciating to consider that a 50-year career may be destroyed in one news cycle as a result of vicious and wholly false allegations about sexual misconduct,’ began Elfman’s florid denial.

‘Ms. Abadi’s allegations are simply not true,’ he continued.

Apart from other assertions, he stated that Abadi referred to him as her “youthful infatuation” and intended to “end” his marriage with Bridget, whom he has been wedded to since 2003.

Elfman asserted that he hadn’t done anything improper or wrong, and he also mentioned possessing a substantial amount of proof that these allegations are unfounded.

Later, a spokesperson for Elfman clarified that his interactions with Abadi were restricted to non-sexual activities and were consensual throughout.

According to Elfman’s spokespeople, what appeared to be semen in the martini glass was actually Cetaphil moisturizing cream.

An email containing a picture of a glass holding a white material was sent to Abadi prior to her encounter with Elfman, where it is claimed that he showed this item to her personally during the meeting.

The representative explained that the martini glass and its contents were intended as a humorous, impromptu backdrop for the photoshoot, and they added that Ms. Abadi was aware of this.

Now Abadi is suing Elfman for defamation and requesting unreported damages over his denials.

She claims the statements she made to Rolling Stone were honest, while she considers Elfman’s, which she described as falsehoods, harmful to her career as a composer and performer, ultimately causing her various health issues.
