The statement read, "Marilee's sole focus has remained on the overall best interest of her daughter. To that end, T.J.'s lawyer and I have been working together to move their divorce forward privately, expeditiously, and as amicably as possible."
In the statement, Lehman also emphasized how "disappointed" she and Fiebig are by Holmes' behavior since the scandal began. She said, "We continue to be disappointed by T.J.'s lack of discretion, respect, and sensitivity toward Marilee and the party's daughter. Marilee has been touched by the outpouring of support and looks forward to a new beginning in this new year."
