UBT: Hugh Jackman Angry at Ex for Saying ‘Betrayal’
The UBT digests Hugh Jackman’s outburst at his ex Deborra-Lee Furness for speaking of her betrayal. Hey, she was supposed to stick to the “we grew apart” script!
***
When actor Hugh Jackman chucked his older wife Deborra-Lee Furness for a younger costar, Broadway warbler Sutton Foster, the romance timeline was pretty obvious. Both Foster and Jackman were married, and then suddenly simultaneously separated. As the press gushed about their Twu Wuv.
What were the chumped spouses supposed to do? Shut up, of course.
But Furness did not stick to the expected “we grew apart” script. She got uppity and stated the obvious — Jackman cheated on her and the betrayal was painful.
In a statement in to People magazine and the Daily Mail, about the breakdown of her nearly 30-year marriage, Furness said:
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It’s a profound wound that cuts deep. However, I believe in a higher power and that God or the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us.
I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose,” she added. “It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.
We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves. I remain grateful.””
Honestly, this strikes me as rather classy. She said the unethical way he ended things hurt, but she learned from it. And ultimately does not regret her time with Jackman.
But apparently, anything short of her total self-erasure was unacceptable to Jackman.
He was reportedly blindsided and angry that she shared her perspective. Without, I might note, a single gory detail.
People magazine reports:
Hugh Jackman was reportedly caught off guard by ex Deborra-Lee Furness‘ public comments about “betrayal” in their marriage.
After filing for divorce on May 23, nearly two years after announcing a seemingly amicable separation, Furness, 69, spoke out in a statement, reflecting on the “breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage” and navigating the “traumatic journey of betrayal.”
The Universal Bullshit Translator, who loves the rich taste of cheater hypocrisy almost as much as it loves Lebkuchen, is here for it.
According to a report from The Daily Mail on Wednesday, May 28, an anonymous source told the outlet that Jackman, 56, was blindsided and “extremely disappointed” by Furness’ remarks. The source claimed that “there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press” and Jackman “knows that he cannot change anything.”
So disappointing.
There was an unwritten understanding that your dick wouldn’t wander, Hugh.
Jackman, 56, was blindsided and “extremely disappointed”
I cannot believe Deborra-Lee would BLINDSIDE me with the truth. We agreed to the amiable separation fiction and then I walked in on her texting the Daily Mail. HOW COULD YOU?! Are you SEEING OTHER TRUTHS?
I’m extremely disappointed in her. I thought we had something sacred.
The source claimed that “there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press”
Are you insinuating that I was MARRIED when I met Sutton Foster? Or that she was married? And that our public canoodling and simultaneous separations were anything but coincidence?
I’m sick, just sick, with the thought that you would humiliate me in public like this, with such speculation.
Your public humiliation as Hugh Jackman’s much older, WELL OF COURSE he needs fresh snatch, past-her-expiration-date ex wife is just the normal understanding.
Hugh cannot turn back time.
Jackman “knows that he cannot change anything.”
It’s so unfair of you to speak of things I cannot change. Maybe I was born with a congenital wandering dick deformity. Why would you mock me?
I can’t change anything, which is the closest I’m going to come to an apology for obliterating a 30-year marriage. Maybe I would change things, maybe I wouldn’t, but the important thing is to accept my entitlement without question.
When I said in September 2023, that we “decided to separate to pursue our individual growth” after a “wonderful, loving marriage” THAT WAS THE LAST WORD.
Okay, so I pursued my growth with one particular individual. But I threw you a kibble! I said our marriage was wonderful and loving. Yet also obsolete. Because clearly, I needed to escape the oppressive bonds of your wonderful love.
BUT I DIDN’T TRASH YOU!
I just cheated on you, and that’s completely different.
I guess that one of the things that Hugh Jackman could change if he wanted to would be to take responsibility for his actions and admit that his unilateral choices adversely impacted his Ex-Wife, rather than throwing a tantrum because his Ex no longer wants to conform to a narrative that absolves him of blame.
But then I would say that, wouldn’t I?
LFTT
Right? Granted were he to pillory himself….he’s still with schmoopie! Can’t sit with your discomfort if somebody is still sitting on you.
Stay Mighty!
Of course Hugh is angry – he so magnanimously didn’t go public with all the reasons Deb drove him to cheat on her 🙄🫤.
Truely, she’s been the magnaimous one here.
magnanimous
I sure have never felt the same about Hugh Jackman since he left his wife for Smutton (whom I also liked). Sigh, I guess they’re just good actors but not actually good people. Good on Furness for not sticking to the PR script that Jackman trotted out to save him & his Schmoopie’s image!
Oh yes – his wife wasn’t good enough to remain his wife, he HAD to cheat on her, but she’s still good enough after he betrayed her to still do his impression management? She still has to be the good, stay-in-line wife appliance? Fuck that guy! He made the choice to cheat, he can live with the bad image that comes from that. Bad behavior begets bad consequences. In other words…
It SUCKS TO SUCK!
ChumpyGirlKC, this is scary truth you’re uttering! You just neatly summed up what I suspect a lot of us chumps have to put up with, after a cheater discards you and moves on immediately with their affair partner.
My FW XW is no Hollywood star, but locally, she’s a somewhat popular local politician (less so than she used to be, though). It doesn’t hurt that she’s very pretty for her age. And she seems to be a good person to a lot of people, and many of them feel she’s working for them (Ha! The poor fools).
She has left no doubt in my mind that what she’d prefer me to do is to act as though we’re friendly now, and all is forgiven and forgotten. Just water under the bridge!
And I get that vibe from some of our local populace as well. And to her and the local populace that think her shit doesn’t stink, I continue to annoy them all by refusing to do that. I’m not loud about it at all. But I do refuse to act more than barely civil towards her.
And she’s the only one who gets that from me, unless you count me having talks with members of our locality where I rudely interrupt her narrative, I’m sure, that she had to fuck her former boss and abandon me. Sorry, I’ve got my own truth, and I’m not afraid to say it.
Mind you, these rebuttals to her version of events are rare. I can count them on less than one hand. But still…why won’t I just bend to her truth?!🤣
Maybe…because her version’s a lie? Like so many other cheater’s versions of what happened to or in their former relationships?
It’s sad when people can’t seem to understand that there’s way more moral and ethical options to dealing with a spouse or partner you’re no longer so enamored with, for whatever reason, than just fucking around on them while they’re trusting and clueless about it, then abandoning them once they find out (or, sometimes abandoning them as a way for them to find out).
Keep on rocking it, ChumpyGirlKC. And as for Hugh Jackman and his “twu wuv?” Fuck off, you scumbags. You may have artistic talent, but when it comes to treating people you were supposed to care about right, you suck.
Ok I’m not defending prisoner 24601 or anything, that’s not right what he did to Deb she is a decent person, clearly he is a bullshitter like half the rest of the population, but an anonymous source is about as credible as my ex mother in law claiming her son is a very nice young lad. The other article I read was Hugh supposedly launching some scathing attack on Deb because he posted a video completing a skipping routine and wrote “finally” (which supposedly meant he was glad the divorce was granted). Look I tend to read into things a bit but really.
I saw the paper was that bastion of truth the Daily Fail as well.
He’s a cheater. That’s enough.
People Magazine deals with actors’ PR teams. They don’t just call his friends at random. It’s a whole formula.
And what else would “finally” mean, when the song is playing “bye-bye?”
Jackman and Sutton did a pap walk IN LA immediately after the wildfires. They’re awful.
Ok well you might be right. I was just giving Valjean the benefit of the doubt that he was just having a bit of a merry old skip about and wotnot, bloody tosser.
I live for the snark of this site.
I lost respect for him when he starred in The Greatest Showman. That movie was disgusting, speaking of completely altering truth. PT Barnum was a piece of work who acquired and exploited Joyce Heth, a slave, and charged money to witness an autopsy of her when she died. His later “conversion” to the abolitionist cause imo was purely about image.
All this was readily available information at the time the movie was made.
His affair and treatment of his wife was no surprise and entirely in line with his character.
Klootzak and his attorney at trial attempted to spin the tale that the marriage was broken down before the adultery and that therefore, any alleged adultery should not count. They trotted out a long list of grievances as to how I did not wife well enough, many of them outright lies. He said I didn’t transport him home after his colonoscopy (lie) and that I didn’t give him a retirement greeting card when he retired from the Navy (which spouses don’t usually do). Also, I didn’t help lift heavy boxes onto the moving truck in 2014. He conveniently forgot that I had just tested positive for pregnancy after doing IVF and had been instructed not to life more than 15 pounds. (My attorney pointed it out to him on cross x.) So of course, he would have no choice but to f*ck strange. But even after the PI testified and the report was admitted as evidence, he told everyone that he slept at AP’s apartment all week and stayed with her at the hotel but they did not have sex. I guess he likes slumber parties.
The judge asked me directly if I would have divorced him but for the infidelity and I paused and thought long and hard and said no. I would have stayed married to him in spite of how he treated me because I am a committed person. I keep my promises. But for seeing the PI report confirming the infidelity I would not have filed. The burner phone made me call an attorney to find out what my rights were but I didn’t file until I had confirmation. He alleged the marriage was broken which caused the cheating. I said no, his poor treatment of me was because he was cheating. I am fairly certain the judge saw through him as he plead the 5th a few times.
He pled the 5th in a divorce proceeding? Didn’t know you could even do that!
I didn’t help lift heavy boxes onto the moving truck in 2014. He conveniently forgot that I had just tested positive for pregnancy after doing IVF and had been instructed not to life more than 15 pounds. (My attorney pointed it out to him on cross x.)
That alone spoke volumes about his horrible character. I wonder if he was hoping you’d lose the pregnancy. Amazing how they can lie and twist the truth, and still need to plead the Fifth. It’s so stressful to sit in court and listen to the lies. I’m glad your lawyer called him out on it. I hope you got a decent settlement.
Waiting for the judge’s ruling. I am hoping the same. She should at least throw the book at him for the obvious lies he was telling on the stand. It was crazy. It was all I could do to keep a straight face and not react.
Hugh and Sutton give me the ick.
Self aware, overarching ‘cuteness’, exhausting, mandibular stretching grins….ickity ick…
And in their wake are spouses who were betrayed and children who were left to cope in the wake of their music man acrobatics.
Hugh, you’re just not that great.
You’re a desiccated, washed up fool.
Toadying around with another cheater, Ryan Reynolds and looking for validation because you think you can sing (but can’t really) and your Schmoopie can (but only just)…
Your ex wife gave a response that reveals the extent of your self executed loss – heartfelt, warm, classy and humanist.
You’re a silly, sad little man, music man…
It’s hard to know why celebrities make public statements. I hope that being truthful about infidelity increases, though we will lose many of our heroes. It may be more helpful if financial proceeds from divorce settlements or tell-all books supported chumps through advocacy for child support payments, etc.
“I cannot believe Deborra-Lee would BLINDSIDE me with the truth. We agreed to the amiable separation fiction and then I walked in on her texting the Daily Mail. HOW COULD YOU?! Are you SEEING OTHER TRUTHS?
I’m extremely disappointed in her. I thought we had something sacred.”
This belongs in the “best of” collection of Chump Lady! 😂👏
Totally agree! I snort laughed.
This from the man who posted an Instagram video of himself dancing to song that says “bye-bye, bye-bye.” He captioned it “FINALLY.” Charming.
Furness dared to make a unilateral decision of her own, after his unilateral decision to betray her.
I love Deborra-Lee
Here’s how I read his response: Hugh is a FW who slept with his costar AP Sutton Foster (also married) while they were in The Music Man on Broadway. Then he decides he would leave his Chump wife Deborra-Lee. They “agreed” to make “one joint statement” that they both decided to move on from their marriage.
Deborra-Lee played it cool and agreed without signing anything so that she could do what she needed, meanwhile Hugh wanted to protect his reputation and impression-manage that he was still a great guy (he was known as the perfect family man with the wife of 27 years…. FW movie star must somehow maintain that false angelic reputation even though he’s an exposed cheater).
And Deborra-Lee got him to believe she’d play nicely without legal contracts. Because she is SMART.
Now the Divorce moves forward and Deborra-Lee makes a small nebulous statement that she was betrayed and she feels bad for everyone who has had to go through this too. Thank you Deborra-Lee! And Hugh is chapped.
Well, Hugh, you were played. It looks like the divorce filings indicate the terms are uncontested and will only need a sign-off from a judge. So you both “agreed” to everything verbally then as soon as the divorce was filed, Deborra-Lee could say what she wanted. And he’d best shut up. Saying he’s “disappointed” and “blind-sided” just shows how selfish and self serving he truly is. If he were wiser, he would have either said nothing or said something kind and empathetic.
What a sad sausage idiot FW he is. F*** Hugh and Sutton. Consequences dude
I hate this: Jackman “knows that he cannot change anything.”
So imagine if the ax murderer said in court: “I dont know why I should go to prison, I cant change anything”
What Hugh could have changed was his response to his XW speaking her truth
Image management is so big…my refusal to go along with the “we grew apart” narrative is likely what caused my Cheater to stay. He did not have the strength to stand firm on the issue of being the one who chose to leave the marriage. (For the record, winning the “Pick Me dance” was a bleak experience indeed)
Per news reports she spoke up after she filed for an uncontested divorce this week, at least 18 months after D-Day and his very public affair. She may have stayed silent because they were negotiating a settlement; reportedly there was no pre-nup.
After Tracy’s post I read some articles about this, and while some commenters said it would have been more “classy” for her to keep quiet, it’s heartening how many commenters admired her for speaking up, and/or pointed out that Hugh should have divorced before starting an affair with Smutton (hat tip to Orlando for that name), and mentioned there were additional victims since Smutton also cheated on her second spouse, with whom she has an adopted 7-year old.
Public opinion on cheating IS changing.
Thanks lol. To be fair I should’ve also given her cheater partner a nickname too: Pugh 🤣
Pugh and Smutton. LOL awesome. Maybe South Park or SNL will do a skit on them.
I’m thrilled to see someone refuse to play along and cave to the pressure of continuing to help FW impression management. Celebrities, like it or not, influence the zeitgeist so thank you Deborra!
I’ve also read there was no prenup which surprised me. When they married, Jackman was a newbie actor, and Ms. Furness was a well known and presumably well paid actress in Australia, in a soap I believe. I was surprised she didn’t ask for a prenup. Maybe he thought at the time that it was to his advantage not to have one.
Guess that bit you in the a**, didn’t it, Hugh?
BU BUT BUT…. look what she’s missing out on:

I mean, talk about talent!
The entitlement of these FWs continues to boggle my mind.
Pennywise is having a tantrum this week, sending me emails about how he “is not going to allow” the divorce to happen unless I agree to file our last two years taxes jointly. I, of course, have already filed individually for those years. Pennywise cannot seem to grasp the concept that he is no longer entitled to my wife appliance services, and has not filed his taxes. Why should he? That’s not HIS job! He is far too important to do such menial tasks!
We have a court date (finally) on June 12th, and he’s in for a very rude awakening once he gets in front of the judge, who I’m sure will fail to recognize his fabulousness.
As for Hugh Jackman, another entitled fuckwit, he’s exposed himself as just another low character creep, and his ex’s classy post (good on her), just underscores it. I hope it really chaps his cheating ass.
“Pennywise is having a tantrum this week, sending me emails about how he “is not going to allow” the divorce to happen unless I agree to file our last two years taxes jointly.”
So weird that a lot of them say this “I won’t let you have a divorce”. We don’t need their permission. (obviously it goes without saying that they can make it difficult and drag it out, costing you way more money than neccessary…but technically we still end up divorced whether they like it or not)
Mine tried this very early on. A few times he announced that he “wasn’t getting divorced”. The thing is, that wan’t a play for wreckonciliation. He was very clear that he wanted to remain romantically involved with his AP, in fact, he envisioned moving her from her home 3000 miles away to our city. WE would stay married, but not have a romantic relationship, I would just remain his family. We would all, including AP, do holidays together with our kids. It was like some kind of more screwed up version of that show Sister Wives. I cite Sister Wives vs Polyamory because he wasn’t suggesting an open relationship. *I* would not be free to take on a side piece. (Not that I would have wanted that anyway)
In hindsight, what I think happened is that he probably had lots of women he flirted with online going back years (he met AP online), enjoyed the kibbles, and it was all fun and games until he found this pariicular one where he took it too far. And then suddenly they were “together/together” , he was in love, and he was faced with “wait, how is this going to work..I have a wife and kids and our extended family/social circle will not look kindly at me leaving my family for a side piece? And to really be with AP I have to leave my wife, and that has financial difficulties etc “. I think he just came up with this idea in almost a panic. “If we don’t get a divorce, and my wife is seen interacting all friendly with me and AP, people will assume this is all fine and I won’t have to pay any type of support, lose any assets etc”
But he forgot the part where *I* had to be willing to DO that and why would I be?
I had to do my FW’s tax returns too!
He hasn’t filed any since, 8 years now.
“Not going to allow”…yeah, that’s a good one. He can tell it to the judge! And from what you say, he’s going to.
Please, let us know what happens!
Good point, I am now very interested in exactly how blunt Pennywise is and how big of a public smack down the judge gives him.
Old Pennywise just doesn’t get it, does he?
He doesn’t understand he’s not calling the shots anymore and thinks throwing a wobbly will get him his way.
I’ll be cheering you on come June 12- hang in there, it’s not long to go now.
Go get him ! Xx
Cry more. Sorry the truth is getting the way of your truth.
I love that “unwritten understanding that you wouldn’t trash me” thing.
Can’t help but wonder if he thought going into retirement would lampshade the whole thing and then when he came out of retirement for Disney money it was able to safely blow back up. “Caught off guard.” What a joke.
You mean to tell me that it ruins your day when you find out that you trust and confidence were betrayed? That a promise kept turned out to be a promise broken and you are JUST NOW finding out about it? That your current happiness is predicated on a lie that somebody else was keeping from you?
Huh. Weird.
Truly the Worst Wolverine.
The thing I jsut don’t understand is, Furness’ statement didn’t trash him. It actually was not about him at all. She mentioned that betrayal hurts. That isn’t news.
I don’t think there is a person famliar with their story that doesn’t assume he cheated on her. They took their relationship public in January, nearly 6 months before the divorce was filed. Nothing Furness said was going to change how people feel about this situation, people “know” that Jackman and Foster were togeher long before we heard any of this. And unlss you are a moron, you would assume that it hurt Furness.
It is not like se came our with some awful details that would make things look worse for him, like “I came home and found them in our bed on our wedding anniversary and she was wearig my lingerie” or some other gross detail. She said “betrayal hurts”. We all knew that…both that she was betrayed, and that it likely hurt.
Ironically, the one thing that happened that does look worse for Jackman is that he got mad that she said it. That is a new factor that has been introduced that looks worse or him, and all he had to do was shut up.
He’s also sent out his Flying Monkeys. Per the New York Post:
“Hugh Jackman’s longtime pal breaks silence on actor’s ‘difficult’ divorce from Deborrah-Lee Furness”
Cry me a river 🙄
Dealing with all those negative emotions, especially from your children, is so difficult. Turns out kids don’t care about twu wuv.
I hope he gets so much blowback from HIS behavior while he’s trying to torch her, that it lights fire to his hair gel.
I may get in trouble for saying this but no one will ever convince me that man is straight. Deborah was a successful, established older actress when he married her. Now she’s almost 70. I don’t know who the other woman is but I think there’s some strategic reason he monkey branched to her and it has nothing to do with love or even lust.
Well, that’s an interesting theory. And you may be right. We’ll see.
I may also get in trouble for this, but I (and others in NY) know for a fact that he is at least bi-.
A FW is lying? Who knew that would happen?
If you don’t do trashy things, you won’t get trashed- simple.
Honesty and integrity are foreign states of being to them.
Too many like their carefully curated image of being the ‘good guy’ then have a tanty when someone pulls the mask off.
Apparently it’s just too hard to actually be a good guy instead of impersonating one.
I think Furness is being braver than assumed by breaking the “unwritten” NDA because Jackman has the literal devil on his side, at least in terms of media clout.
In fact, Jackman’s sympathy for the devil is really all anyone needs to know about his character, namely his long friendship with Rupert Murdoch who has been consistently described as an evil, profiteering, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, authoritarian “cancer on democracy” who’s almost single-handedly destroyed the fourth estate for the last four decades while promoting violent neofascism and climate change denial around the world.
Murdoch’s fingerprints are also all over the deadly constitutional crisis in the US. In any event, you can’t be pals with someone like Murdoch and pretend bleeding heart humanitarianism and environmentalism. I also don’t think any artist could straddle an ethical fence like that without turning into a maudlin, soulless cheeseball which I think Jackman has. If he had more actual talent and had won more awards, it might not be a stretch to compare him to the story of Mephisto, a novel by Klaus Mann and later Academy award winning film by Istvan Szabo based on the real life stage actor Gustaf Grundgens who sold out to the Nazis and became a pet of Hermann Goring in exchange for career success.
Anyone who hasn’t seen the film yet should. Old as it is, the acting is incredible and direction by Szabo make it feel modern and relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdq2ZqNbdSg&t=53s
Anyway, the fact that Grundgens betrayed friends, wives and lovers during his ascent seems par for the course. Also par for the course is that sociopaths really don’t like having their soulless fence-straddling exposed. Following his arrest by the Soviets after the war, Grundgens naturally did another political 180 and pledged to promote Soviet theater in exchange for having evidence of his Nazi collaboration and close ties to Goring buried. The repression of evidence then helped Grundgens and his estate fight to get Klauss Mann’s novel banned for several years despite the fact that Mann took the higher road and didn’t “out” his former lover for closeted homosexuality but for political flipflopping and opportunism.
Hugh Jackman was allegedly ‘blindsided and extremely disappointed’ that his wife of 30 years publicly used the word ‘betrayal’ to describe his infidelity and their resulting divorce.
Here’s my stab at a UBT of the situation:
“Gee whiz, Deb. Why can’t you admit that we just fell out of love? I’ve already told you I never went looking for a new relationship. It just happened.
Look. You and I can’t help if if we weren’t happy anymore. I was totally honest with you. Several months after I started my sparkly affair with the love of my life, I told you that we hadn’t been happy for a long time. A loooooong time. I just didn’t know what I wanted until I met Sutton and it all made sense.
See, Deb, it turned out you weren’t a great romantic partner. All that mothering and working and aging and living a full, rich life that didn’t 100% revolve around me and my needs. It made me sad, even though I never mentioned it. It took meeting Sutton for me to realize that I hadn’t been happy or fulfilled in our marriage for years. And let’s face it, neither were you. We’d drifted apart. Some relationships aren’t meant to last forever, and it turns out ours was one of them.
The thing is, I deserve to be happy, Deb. And I just don’t understand why you’re so bitter. I don’t understand how you could publicly punish me and try to shame me this way. It’s so immature. I never imagined you of all people could stoop so low. This kind of backstabbery is something I thought you weren’t capable of.
I thought you were better than this. I guess it’s just proof that I’m the bigger person and you’re nothing but a spiteful woman with a much older vagina than Sutton’s. Now I’m off to enlist a cadre of flying monkeys and do time-consuming damage control that steals valuable time from my daily tap dancing and one-armed pushup routines, thanks to your vindictive pronouncement.
Bottom line is, why do you have to make everything about you? It cuts me to the bone.
Remorselessly,
Hugh
Jackman’s friend already said that he hopes “Deb can move on.” They aren’t even divorced from a 30-year marriage yet! It’s mind-blowing.
The most audacious part is that I think her statement is the epitomy of “moving on”. She essentially said, “oh yes, this hurt, i feel for anyone that has hurt like this, but I also learned from this and see the value in the years we had together” That 100% sounds like “oh, this sucked, but I am growing from it and moving on” It remains to be seen if she will give multiple statements and say more, but I really would not be surprised if that is ALL she says. And she may have only made a statement at all to make people STOP ASKING.
Good for Ms. Furness for telling her story! I hope she got a really good settlement. I’ve read estimates that their combined fortune, including real estate all over the world, was worth $200 to $250 million. I hope that fooling around was worth $100 million, Hugh!
It’ll be interesting to see if Jackman is dumb enough to make a public statement. He’d be wise to keep his mouth shut, but who knows what he’ll do.
Hugh won’t comment, but he is deploying his Flying Monkeys (New York Post):
Hugh Jackman’s longtime pal breaks silence on actor’s ‘difficult’ divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness
Many people wanted me to just .shut. up about my Xs affairs as I spilled toxic dribbles all over our churches pews. Just shut up and go along with forgiveness and silence. I did not stop until I talked to each Pastor and told the truth to anyone who even looked at me. It was a good old boys club where the men understood Porn and going for a 20 year younger version, and why not?? Look at that shrill, vocal Chump!!! But I’m so proud I spoke up now 3 years later. I heard my voice, I used the words of CL ,& CN and I see the truth of what happened to me and how courageous I was in the face of church ignorance and cover up. Nothing has changed but I am not the same. My eyes are wide opened. Good for The golden Mrs Jackman who used dignity, courage, truth telling, heart break and finesse to get her voice heard.. Whaaaaaaaaaa to cheater…she is fortunate to be rid of him before he made her sick mentally and physically and drained their accounts. We also know she had to have been devalued….it’s not pretty but hopefully Deborra- Lee will move forward with joy, later..on Tuesday. Meh is coming!
Hugh, said as a child he would walk home, from school, and not enter the home till a sibling was there, he said for hours some times, his mother left Australia for UK when he was quite young. I think that traumatised him probably. Even if his dad acted liked 2 parents. I think he probably saw his wife as a mother figure, I bet all his friends and wives thought he was a good catch, he’s probably quite controlling, he was on London TV years ago in a West end show I thought he was gay, I was surprised he was married
Loads and loads and loads of people have had absentee parents. People on this very site have had much worse trauma. It’s not an excuse for cheating.
