Jason Sudeikis’ Ex Keeley Hazell Opens Up About Troubled Childhood and Sex Tape Scandal in Memoir

Stunning Ted Lasso actress Keeley Hazell has a shocking secret past — she grew up in a house of horrors with a wife- and child-beating dad, was devastated by a sex-tape scandal, and became a nude model in England before moving to the U.S. and finding success in Jason Sudeikis’ hit sitcom, per Daily Mail.

Now Keeley, 38 — who played Bex from 2020 to 2023 on the show — is revealing her incredible rags-to-riches tale in her new memoir Everyone’s Seen My T*ts.

She writes that she was born the middle of three daughters in Catford, South London, to window-fitter dad Roy, who believed that “if your wife gives you any trouble, just knock her about a bit.”

Roy also smacked her and her sisters with wooden spoons, yardsticks, shoes or a belt before he and their mom split up when Keeley was 13.

Keeley went on to work in a beauty salon and took night courses while living with her mom. But at 18, desperate for any kind of a break, she sent partly nude photos to The Sun newspaper, famed for its topless pics known as Page Three girls.

She recalls feeling “fear, embarrassment and excitement … [and] panic, that this might be the only chance I got to do something with my life.”

She got picked and rocketed to renown as a model, eventually appearing in England’s Playboy-like magazine FHM 25 times and sometimes making over $30,000 per shoot.

But it all turned nightmarish when the 20-year-old pinup broke up with boyfriend Theo in 2007 and he released their private sex tape to a newspaper.

“Hazell was devastated. She tried to self-harm,” a source tells Globe.

In 2009, she packed her bags, flew to Hollywood, took acting classes and struggled — until in 2014, she nabbed a part in Horrible Bosses 2, where she met Sudeikis. He contacted her six years later, saying he was creating a character for Ted Lasso named “Keeley,” a onetime Page Three girl.

Although Juno Temple got the part, Jason and Keeley started dating and he soon cast her as Bex. She also wrote for the show until 2023.

“Page Three changed my life in so many ways — good and bad,” Keeley writes in the book as she looks back. “But, would I still do it? … I don’t know. I go back and forth.”
