Sienna Miller is speaking up about ex-fiancé Jude Law's cheating scandal and how the trauma of the experience impacted her life. The two were engaged in 2005 but split shortly after it emerged that Law had been having an affair with his children's nanny. The actor issued a public apology to Miller but the damage was done. In an interview with Daily Beast, the "21 Bridges" star opened up about how hard it was to have her personal life thrust into the spotlight while trying to find healing.
"That was one of the most challenging moments I hope I’ll ever have to experience. Because with that level of public heartbreak, to have to get out of a bed let alone stand in front of 800 people every night, it’s just the last thing you want to do," she said, according to Fox News. "It was really hard. And the other thing was, it was at the height of all that paparazzi madness, and in London where there was an epidemic of bad behavior. They knew where I would be every night."
Miller said the stress of the ordeal forced her mind to block out part of the experience.
"There’s a whole six weeks of that experience that I don’t remember. I have no recollection of it," she explained. "People who came to see me said we had dinner, and I don’t remember. I was in so much shock over it all. And I’d really just begun. I was only 23. But if you get through that, you feel like you can get through anything."
Miller met law in 2004 while filming for "Alfie." They called off the engagement in 2005, after Law’s cheating scandal, but briefly reunited a few years later. In 2011, they called it quits once again.
