Sylvester Stallone’s First Public Appearance Since Jennifer’s Divorce Filing

Sylvester Stallone is still appearing for work, and placing on a face that appears to conceal the reality his other half simply shot on ending their 25 years of marital relationship.

Sly amazed a lot of ecstatic fans Thursday at an unique screening for his brand-new film “Samaritan” … appearing at the AMC Empire 25 theater in New york city. Some folks took out their electronic cameras to snap the minute, while others clapped and welcomed him with smiles.

And, in spite of it being a tough time, he appeared to be in respectable spirits. At one point he got the mic and provided a person in the audience a warm accept.

As we reported … his now-estranged other half Jennifer Flavin applied for divorce a week back, and in the docs, she declares he’s been moving marital possessions to conceal them from her and her lawyers — although Sly rejects that.

There’s been a great deal of backward and forward about what may have triggered the divorce — much of it fixating Sly’s brand-new Rottweiler, Dwight, which Stallone got tatted on his shoulder … OVER Jennifer’s face!

While sources linked to Sly stated an argument about the pet triggered the divorce … Sly himself informs us that wasn’t it.

He states he and Jennifer “just went in different directions,” and includes he was absolutely captured off guard by her filing divorce documents.

Surprisingly, however, Jennifer was out in WeHo in early August, and wasn’t wearing her wedding event ring.
