Lena Headey and Husband Embroiled in Custody Battle
Lena Headey, star of HBO's "Game of Thrones," has become ensnared in a custody battle with estranged husband Peter Loughran over their son.
The actress recently took action to block Loughran from taking their 2-year-old son Wylie Elliot to Ireland after deeming the Irish musician "too reckless" to care for the child.
Headey supported her claims with pictures Loughran had allegedly posted to Facebook featuring himself posing with an AK-47 assault rifle, Daily Mail reported.

The actress also claimed that Loughran has serious problems with alcohol, and now a court has sided with Headey. The judge supported Headey's request and forbid Loughran to leave the U.S. with the child, according to TMZ.
