Rage Against the Machine Drummer Bradley Wilk's Wife Claims His Affair with Juliette Lewis Led to Divorce

Rage Against the Machine drummer Bradley Wilk's estranged wife says their reconciliation was ruined when he went off and had an affair with actress Juliette Lewis.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Selene Vigil-Wilk has gone back to court to reignite their divorce, which they had called off in 2013. Selene originally filed for divorce from Bradley earlier that year.
They were married in 2005 and share two kids together. She sought primary physical custody and spousal support. There was no activity in the case until recently, when Selene filed new documents in the case.
In her filing, Selene explains immediately after she filed for divorce, the two decided to reconcile and work on their marriage. She claims they reached a new living arrangement where Brad toured and she raised the kids.
This worked until she decided they could no longer be married in November 2017. She says since that time, Bradley has been paying some of her bills, but she wants a court order ASAP.
Selene says Bradley pulled in $2.2 million in 2017 and believes he should pay $30,124 per month in temporary spousal support and $17,772 per month in temporary child support, until the divorce is final.
She is also seeking $100k in attorney fees and $50k for a forensic accountant.
In her docs, Selene explains the original divorce was filed after she had learned Wilk had an affair with a woman from Las Vegas who worked at a strip club. He had told her the woman was pregnant, which caused her to file for divorce. She claims when they found out the woman lied about being pregnant, they were able to work things out.
Selene says everything was working for them until they went to the Brentwood Country Mart in December 2015, where he told her he wanted a divorce.
She claims in early 2016, Bradley went on tour with Juliette Lewis’ band. She writes, "He left and they went on tour for several months with her and the band. I later discovered that he was having an affair with her ... In late 2016, Brad returned to Los Angeles and informed me that he wanted to set up a mediation. He said that he was moving in with Juliette Lewis.”
She then told him she was going through with the divorce. Bradley has yet to respond to the motion.
Wilk has been dating Lewis since 2016 and they still perform together.
