The novel coronavirus pandemic hit the film industry hard as productions indefinitely shuttered amidst lockdowns. Randall Emmett's income was dramatically affected, but fans didn't know the true toll until court records from his child support battle with ex-wife Ambyr Childers hit the tabloids (but more on that situation below).
According to Radar, Emmett admitted that he only produced a single movie in 2020, compared to the several he'd produce in a normal year. "My income has been drastically reduced and I am having liquidity issues," he said, adding, "The state of film production right now due to Covid protocols is tenuous at best. Productions can be shut down at any time. Further, I am not sure additional projects that I have lined up will proceed. My income is far too uncertain during this pandemic."
On top of this, Emmett allegedly personally guaranteed loans for his production company, but was struggling to pay rent. Days before his alleged split from Kent in the fall of 2021, Radar reported that Emmett was being sued for $281,000 on the grounds of unpaid rent on his production company's office space. This came on top of a lawsuit from American Express, who claimed he owed more than $390,000 in credit card bills, and a reported bill from the IRS for $500,000 in unpaid taxes. It seems like Emmett is in a sticky financial situation.
