The regal matriarch of the Addams family continued to have as remarkable a life as an actress as Morticia does as a character. Ricci is also a national spokesperson for RAINN, a network that offers resources and aide for victims of sexual maltreatment. According to People, news of the divorce followed a domestic battery call at Ricci's home, after which she was reportedly granted an emergency protective order against her husband, and asked for sole legal and physical custody of the couple's five-year-old son, Freddie. When it comes to her personal life, she was briefly engaged to comedian and actor Owen Benjamin in 2008, later announced her engagement to dolly grip James Heerdegen in 2013, and filed for divorce from Heerdegen on July 2, 2020. As of 2020, she was still highly active in her Hollywood career. She played Trixie in the 2008 live-action Speed Racer, which has gained a fervent cult following but was a notorious box office flop at the time. She continued appearing in 'spooky' roles with Casper, Sleepy Hollow, and The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, but also took on serious dramatic and indie roles as in Monster and The Opposite of Sex. It was also the start of a long and successful acting career bearing Golden Globe, Independent Spirit, MTV Movie, Emmy, and Screen Actors Guild award nominations.

The precocious Wednesday Addams was Christina Ricci's breakout role (she had only just made her film debut a year before as a 10-year-old in Mermaids).
