Puddle of Mudd’s Wes Scantlin Files for Divorce
Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin is reportedly divorcing his wife of nearly four years.
Scantlin married model Jessica Nicole Smith in January of 2008, and filed divorce papers at the L.A. County Superior Court on Tuesday, Nov. 29, according to TMZ.
Scantlin has yet to comment on the alleged divorce but has noted in the past that Smith was his muse and the inspiration behind many of his songs.
Puddle of Mudd released their latest effort, ‘Re: (disc)overed’ in August of this year; read our review here. The album was a collection of covers of classic tunes from the Rolling Stones to Bad Company.
The past few months have been a bit tumultuous for the band, guitarist Paul Phillips announced on Nov. 13 that he was leaving the group and would not be joining Puddle of Mudd on their current run.
