Deborra-Lee Furness raised eyebrows with an Instagram comment that many read as a thinly veiled dig at her ex-husband Hugh Jackman.
When Scandal actress Kerry Washington promoted her new series imperfect woman last month with the caption “You can’t trust ANYONE…EVER,” Furness commented in the comments section.
“HILARIOUS…this is so true,” the 70-year-old wrote, a response that fans quickly greeted with a flood of thumbs-up and smiley face emojis, widely interpreted as a pointed reference to her very public divorce.
Jackman, 57, would not have been very pleased.
According to the Daily Maila source claimed he had been “blindsided” by the comment and “extremely disappointed”, suggesting there had been a tacit agreement that she would not speak publicly against him.
The couple announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, releasing a joint statement at the time describing their union as “a wonderful and loving marriage” and describing the separation as a mutual decision to “pursue our individual growth.”
Their divorce was finalized on June 12, 2025, according to court records in Suffolk County Supreme Court in New York.
Furness had filed under uncontested terms, requiring only a judge’s approval.
Jackman has since moved on with Broadway actress and singer Sutton Foster, 51.
