Former NYPD Blue star Kim Delaney has lost custody of her teenage son after he
testified in a Santa Monica, California, court that she was endangering his
life by drunk-driving.
Jack Cortese, 15, told the court that his mother embarrassed him when she
turned up drunk at a friend’s house and then insisted that he come home with
her.
The teen said, “I attempted to keep her from driving her car, but she was
very demanding.
“My mother demanded that my friend go with us. He refused to drive with her
because she was drunk.
“Unfortunately, this is not the only incident in which I have seen my mother
drunk.”
Cortese, who is now living with Delaney‘s ex-husband Joe Cortese, claimed he
hadn’t seen his mom since Aug. 11 and is keen on keeping his distance.
He added, “I do not want to be with her until she has completed rehab and is
sober. I am very concerned for my safety when I am with her.”
The actress’s alcohol problems were highlighted three years ago when she
was arrested for drunk-driving.
