Jenna Dewan clarifies Channing Tatum comments: ‘My words have been distorted’ – Jenna Dewan says comments she made about parenting with ex-husband Channing Tatum were “distorted.”
PRE ORDER A COPY OF ROB’S NEW BOOK
On Tuesday, the actress and dancer, 40, used social media to clarify comments she made on the Dear Gabby podcast that made headlines. She made it clear she wasn’t bashing her 8-year-old daughter Everly’s father when she said he “wasn’t available” after the birth of their daughter and felt her words were spun into “salacious gossip.”
The World of Dance alum wrote, “It’s unfortunate that countless media outlets have taken an important conversation on a woman’s experience with postpartum issues and pulled quotes to make it appear that I was slamming my daughters’ father, something I would never do.”
Dewan continued, “As two working parents, we both faced challenges at the time, but I speak only for myself and not about him. Anyone who actually listens to the interview, something I encourage everyone to do, will clearly see that my words have been distorted for clicks and to push false, salacious gossip with no regard for the actual people involved, or the message intended.”
On the podcast, Dewan compared the early days after the births of her two children. She said her son with fiancé Steve Kazee, Callum, was born in March 2020 — and because of the pandemic, the family had months together at home to bond. However, when she had Everly in 2013, she went back to work right away and her then-husband was also working in another location.
It was big news when the Step Up co-stars welcomed Evie in London — where Tatum had been filming Jupiter Ascending — in May 2013. While things looked picture perfect in that famous first photo they shared in June, just weeks after that, in early July, Dewan set off to shoot Witches of East End in Canada. Having a newborn, working and being apart from her partner was difficult.
