Both Meg Ryan AND Dennis Quaid Should Shut Up!
Seriously, are there any people left in Showbizland who have even a modicum of sense? Or did they sign that away when they agreed to fame and fortune?
Case in point: Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid. Former spouses who went so far as to have a child together before going their separate ways, they had pretty much kept hushy-mouthed over personal details in their lives. Until now, that is...when one has a movie to promote and interviews to give, all bets are apparently off. Meg has been running her mouth about the painful breakup of her marriage, saying that while she may have had an affair she was simply following Dennis' lead:
Ryan’s freedom from conventional values revealed itself when she began an affair in 2000 with Russell Crowe, her co-star in Proof of Life, as her nine-year marriage to Dennis Quaid was falling apart. Suddenly, much of the enormous public affection for her turned to anger, and everything was affected: her image, her career, her sense of self. "It was a great story," she says. "But what wasn't in the story was the reality of my marriage..." And what was the reality? After a pause, Ryan says quietly, "Dennis was not faithful to me for a long time, and that was very painful..."This is surprising—the story splashed across magazine covers at the time cast her as the cheater. "I think when things get played out that simply in black-and-white, it makes people feel good… The tabloid culture can't tell a complicated story." But Ryan is committed to the complicated story. She wasn't the stereotypical long-suffering wife, nor was Quaid a monster. Meg is adamant: "I am not a victim. I was there. I was in that marriage for a really long time."
