Why did Hilary Swank spill about hubby's substance abuse?
Date: July 10, 2006
Hilary Swank is such a nice girl, such a terrific actress (as her two Oscars testify) that I wonder why exactly she felt the need to unburden herself to Vanity Fair about soon-to-be ex hubby Chad Lowe's alleged substance abuse problem? Now solved, says she.
According to the interview, it was not Swank who brought it up, but she then did confirm the rumors, and remarked on the situation. Since she was revealing nothing else scandalous or newsmaking in this VF profile, Swank had to know Chad's "problem" would be the hook to sell the piece.
Why go there? Whatever happened to "no comment?" Chad himself declined to speak with VF on the matter, so he clearly didn't think that was the kind of publicity he wanted or needed.
Miss Swank looks very nice on VF's cover in her bikini, reminding us that she is all girl and not the androgynous figure of her two most successful films, Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby.
Indeed, the cover is so very much the opposite of her perceived image that she might have thought to build attention around that, leaving Chad's business to the grinding rumor-mill, and his own discretion.
