Other Woman I Am Not: Women Who Denied Being Mistresses
Abbie Cornish
Our first instance of an on-set love connection, Abbie Cornish and Ryan Phillippe were drawn together while co-starring in the film “Stop-Loss.” Only problem: He was married to pre-drunken ridiculousness Reese Witherspoon — cue the drama! While Cornish was smart enough to not deny the claims (as she and Phillippe would carry on their relationship for quite some time), she did fall back on the tried and true “it was a difficult time for me” explanation in an interview with W Magazine. It may not be a denial, but drumming up a little sympathy never hurts to push back on “other woman” bashing.
