In court documents, Ms. Hettara and Mr. Leder have accused each other of abandonment and neglect. Recently, representing herself pro se, Ms. Hettara tried to use Ms. Ratajkowski’s allegations to have her custody restored. Ms. Ratajkowski’s essay mentions the children multiple times, including when Ms. Ratajkowski wonders, post-assault, if she’s sleeping in his daughter’s bed. Ms. Hettara, now 34, has never met or spoken to Ms. Ratajkowski, 29. But Ms. Palmer and Ms. Ratajkowski used to be friends, although they hadn’t shared their stories about Mr. Leder with each other until recently.
