14 DAY TRIAL // Jennifer Esposito and Bradley Cooper were married for about 4 months back in 2006-2007 and the quick demise of their marriage is at the basis of many of today’s gay rumors about him. While both actors have chosen to keep relatively mum on the topic so far, it seems like she’s about to pull back the curtain on the relationship.
And it’s not going to be pretty. Esposito has a book coming out soon, “Jennifer’s Way,” and, in it, she will also talk about her short-lived marriage to Cooper and how it ended when she least expected it, the New York Daily News reports.
The actress doesn’t name Cooper once in the entire book (which is mostly dedicated to anecdotes about her career and her health struggles), but the aforementioned publication is positive she could only be talking about him. If she is, she doesn’t have too many nice things to say.
Esposito knew from the start that dating this man (Cooper, allegedly) would be wrong on all accounts for her, she writes, but she still agreed to go out with him, hoping against all hope that her first impression of him was wrong.
As the relationship progressed, she found him “funny, smart, cocky, arrogant and a master manipulator.” One thing she did not find him was “necessarily attractive.” In time, she would discover in him a “mean, cold side” and the fact that “his personality could flip on a dime.”
As even more time passed, she realized that she did not count in the relationship, because the man made it all about him. She even starting making compromises on her health because of him, thinking that this would somehow make things right. It never did.
One day, the man just decided to leave – out of the blue, without as much as an explanation.
“I became very sad and I felt very alone,” Esposito writes. “Within days, my relationship hit an all-time low, and within a week it was over. Abruptly, rudely, and with the exact callousness that I’d come to expect from him.”
We presume more details on this “bad relationship” will emerge with the book, perhaps even a bit of context or some clues that could establish the man’s identity with a bit more accuracy.
Some years ago, when he was still dating Renee Zelleweger, Cooper was asked about his marriage to Esposito and why it ended. He refused to go into details, saying that the split had been amicable and consensual, and that “it just wasn’t right.”
If it’s true that Esposito was referring about him in the excerpts cited above, she definitely doesn’t agree with him on that.
