Hugh Jackman wants Deborra-Lee Furness to stop ‘stirring the pot,’ claims source
According to a Globe Magazine, Hugh Jackman allegedly blamed Deborra-Lee Furness for shifting Hollywood loyalties. A source claimed Nicole Kidman appeared to avoid him and Sutton Foster at the Met Gala in New York City. The insider said the moment “triggered a lot of resentment.” According to the source, Jackman believed “more and more people in Hollywood” were quietly turning against him. The insider added that he blamed Furness “100%” for the alleged fallout.
The report also mentioned Naomi Watts and Russell Crowe in the claimed social fallout. The source alleged Jackman was convinced both stars were “ditching him for Deb.” However, the insider said the strongest issue involved Foster. She has faced backlash over her romance with the “Wolverine” actor. The source claimed he was “very protective of Sutton.” The insider added that he felt it was unfair that she was “being frozen out.” The claim involved people who once socialized with her.
Meanwhile, the source said the actor wanted Furness to stop “stirring the pot.” The insider claimed things had moved “way beyond a normal breakup.” They alleged it became “a coordinated effort to isolate them socially.”
For context, Jackman and Furness married in 1996 and announced their separation in 2023. In May 2025, Furness described the split as “a traumatic journey of betrayal” in a Daily Mail statement. The report also referenced infidelity claims about the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star. Jackman was reportedly “furious” and no longer willing to “sit back quietly.”
