Rebecca Romijn Speaks Out Amid John Stamos Feud: Addressing ‘The Devil’ Comment and Apology Demand

Rebecca Romijn, the X-Men alum, has finally broken her silence regarding her ex-husband John Stamos’ candid revelations in his memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me.” The 51-year-old actress, who had been notably quiet about the divorce, responded to John Stamos’ comments during the press tour for his tell-all book.

Rebecca Romijn expressed her surprise and shock at the statements made by Stamos during the promotional tour for his memoir. In an interview with ET at the Critics Choice Awards, she shared, “I was very surprised by all of that, incredibly shocked actually. I was sort of blindsided by it.”

Choosing Silence Over Controversy

Despite the intensity of Stamos’ remarks, Rebecca Romijn chose not to engage in further controversy. She stated, “But, you know, I don’t really want to help him sell his books based on those headlines. So that’s all I really want to say about it.” Her measured response reflects a desire to avoid adding fuel to the fire and maintain a level of privacy.

John Stamos’ Memoir Highlights a Painful Divorce

Stamos’ memoir delves into the details of his tumultuous divorce with Romijn in 2005. In the 352-page book, he describes the emotional final meeting with Romijn during divorce proceedings. Stamos expressed a desire for an apology, stating, “I don’t really feel she owes me anything more than an apology. I guess I owe her one, too.”

During the press tour, Stamos did not hold back in expressing the emotional toll of his divorce from Rebecca Romijn. He described the period as ‘shattering’ and himself as ‘shattered for way too long.’ Stamos revealed the depth of his feelings, saying, “In my mind back then, she was the Devil, and I just hated her. I couldn’t believe how much I hated her, and it ruined my life.”

The Impact of the Divorce on John Stamos

John Stamos admitted that the aftermath of the divorce took a toll on his mental well-being. He confessed to struggling with alcoholism, stating that he began to ‘drink a lot’ during that period. It wasn’t until his DUI arrest in 2015 that he sought proper treatment for his alcohol addiction at a Utah rehab.

Since those challenging times, Stamos has turned his life around. He is happily married to his second wife, Caitlin McHugh, with whom he shares a five-year-old son named Billy. Stamos and McHugh will celebrate their six-year wedding anniversary on February 3.

Jerry O’Connell’s Reaction

Jerry O’Connell, Romijn’s second husband, expressed his disappointment with Stamos’ memoir. He called it ‘a betrayal’ and shared that his wife was ‘bummed out’ about it. O’Connell mentioned that they had no prior warning about the content of the book.

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell, who got engaged six months after her divorce from Stamos, are proud parents to 15-year-old twin daughters, Charlie and Dolly. Despite the past challenges, the couple has built a life together, and Romijn even named her jewelry company after their daughters.
