Weezer bassist Scott Shriner’s wife Jillian Lauren Shriner, who was shot during an altercation with Los Angeles Police earlier this year, has filed for divorce after two decades wed to the musician.
Lauren Shriner, 52, listed “irreconcilable differences” in Tuesday’s divorce filing, obtained by TMZ, which broke the news. She did not designate a date of separation from the musician, 60.
The bestselling author — known for books like “Some Girls: My Life in a Harem” and “Pretty” — has requested joint legal and physical custody of their teenage sons, per Us Weekly.
The couple made headlines in April when LAPD was searching for a trio of hit-and-run suspects and found Lauren Shriner in her yard, holding a handgun, which she was ordered “to drop … numerous times.”
Cops say Lauren continually declined to do so before she ultimately aimed at officers. It was then that an officer reportedly shot her in the shoulder, prompting Lauren to dash inside before surrendering about half an hour later.
She was hospitalized for a non-life-threatening injury and arrested for attempted murder. She was released on $1 million bond.
News quickly broke that Shriner would play with the band — known for hits like “Beverly Hills” and “Island in the Sun” — days later at Coachella, with TMZ reporting it was “doubtful” Lauren would be in the audience.
By late September, Lauren was prohibited from owning a firearm, though she managed to avoid a jail sentence, per Rolling Stone. It was decided that she would instead take part in a two-year mental health diversion program. Upon successful completion of the program, which involves random drug and alcohol testing, Lauren’s two felony charges could be tossed.
