Meg Ryan famously went from being America’s sweetheart to the Scarlett Woman eight years ago when she had a steamy on-set affair with Russell Crowe. For years we’ve all hated on Meg for breaking up her marriage and breaking sweet Dennis Quaid’s heart when she started bangin’ The Gladiator. But now, Meg wants everyone to know that the divorce was not all her fault, and that we really shouldn’t blame Russell. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. A married woman’s bedroom.

“Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that after I was divorced,” she adds.

Of Crowe, she says: “I think he took a big hit. But Russell didn’t break up the marriage. He was definitely there at the end, but it wasn’t his fault. I was a mess. I hurt him too at the end. I couldn’t be in another long relationship, it wasn’t the time for that. So I got out.”
