Reports have been circulating in the gossip rags that Scarlett Johansson and her mom, Melanie Sloan, are bickering over money. There are rumors that Melanie is jealous of her daughter and nearly bankrupt. She wants her daughter to front her some money to help her pay for living expenses. Some people are speculating the real rift between mother and daughter is because of mom’s new boyfriend, Gilles Arondeau. Scarlett and her mom deny the allegations.
Is Melanie Sloan jealous of her daughter’s success as an actress? Does she feel Scarlett owes her something? After all, Melanie basically sacrificed her own personal life to serve as Scarlett’s manager. Years later, Scarlett dumped her mom for a new manager after she married Ryan Reynolds. Does Scarlett resent her mother for trying to run her career? Does she have issues with her mom’s boyfriend? Mother and daughter deny these rumors as well and continue to insist they get along famously.
It is true, however, that Melanie Sloan is having some financial difficulty. She doesn’t believe her daughter owes her anything and the two parted business ways amicably. Okmagazinereports, “Allegedly, Melanie is going through some tough times financially and suing for the return of a $130,000 deposit she dropped on a $1.4 million apartment on West 43rd street in NYC after she couldn’t get a mortgage.”It looks like Melanie’s real beef is with the owner of the apartment she tried to rent and not her daughter. Scarlett Johansson’s success and her mom’s money woes do not appear to be causing a rift in their relationship. We’re glad to hear it.
