She filed the divorce papers May 4 amid reports her husband and his former lover, Amy Fischer, were getting back together. Fischer's husband, Lou Bellera, filed for divorce in New York the same day.

Fisher and Buttafuoco made headlines in 1992 when they had an affair that ended in the then-teenage Fisher shooting Buttafuoco's wife at the time, Mary Jo, in the head.

Fisher, 32, and Buttafuoco, 51, were reportedly photographed kissing in New York just days after the divorce petitions were filed.
