Jenna Dewan Accuses Channing Tatum of Trying to 'Blur the Lines' of How Much Magic Mike Money Is Hers

Jenna Dewan claims Channing Tatum is “trying to blur the lines” of how much magical mike money to which he is entitled upon their divorce.

In a May 8 court filing, Dewan’s lawyers asked for a separate trial to resolve how much magical mike the earnings to which he is entitled before the start of the larger divorce proceedings in which he will divide the rest of the property.

Magic Mike, which began with a 2012 film that Tatum starred in and produced, spawned several sequels, a reality show and a popular Las Vegas attraction. Dewan, 43, and her lawyers claim in the filing that “the story idea [i.e., Magic Mike] which is intellectual property assets that were created entirely during the marriage,” so she should get half.

But her side claims Tatum, 44, “turned a part” of their “community” magical mike profits to another third party months after their split “without Jenna’s knowledge or consent” — allegations Tatum has denied.

Tatum, the Dewan team alleges, “attempts to blur the lines between the two in an effort to disguise the passive” second entity “as ‘production companies’ that create value through his post-separation efforts to obtain an unequal division of community assets between the parties.”

Her reason for a split “fair” trial? Just what is hers between the two of them magical mike-infused money pools should be “tried, tackled and adjudicated before the remaining issues come to trial to prevent it from being cornered…”

Tatum’s legal team is not participating in a separate trial on the matter. The actor strongly disputed Dewan’s claims in his previous filings, saying that he “never denied her share in any social assets or income. Her claims that I ‘collaborated with third parties’ are completely false.”

“She had full access to all of our financial information for all activities during our marriage and after our separation,” his lawyers added. “I continue to provide her with updates regarding the magical mike financial issues.”

In a previous filing, Tatum’s lawyers complained that they had yet to reach a divorce settlement after five years and that they had to schedule a trial without delay at the “last minute.” They say he has “exhausted every effort to try to resolve this matter without litigation.”
