After their split, they fought a messy legal battle over the custody of their child Macaulay. Patricia won the battle of Macaulay’s charge. Moreover, Patricia claimed that Kit had anger issues and was unfaithful. Furthermore, Kit Culkin had a bad bond with his children, especially his sons.

Mother to seven children

She open-heartedly accepted seven kids with his partner, Kit Culkin despite not all of them being her own. She cared for and loved them all equally.

In 1970, Kit had his first child Jennifer Culkin with his then-lover, Adeena VanWagoner. However, Brentrup had her first child in 1979, named Dakota Culkin.

Macaulay was brought into the world in 1980, followed by his three younger siblings, Quinn, Christina and Rory.

Sued for $80 Million

In December 1998, Patricia Brentrup was sued for $80Million by her former neighbors for causing ablaze. A fire broke out in Brentrup’s apartment. Due to the fire that started in the Manhattan high-rise apartment, four people lost their lives (two men and two women); around twenty people were injured. According to the investigator, the fire broke after the flames caught a dried-up Christmas tree.

The fire began at 10 a.m. As the Culkins ran out of their apartment to be safe from fire, they did not close the door of the apartment.

Her son Macaulay had already moved out but often came to visit his mother and siblings.
