Sutton Foster Ready to Break Her Silence on Hugh Jackman Romance After His Ex’s Scathing Statement

Sutton Foster feels she’s been wrongly cast as a homewrecker — and now the Broadway beauty is ready to go to war with her man Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, to defend both their reputations, sources tell GLOBE.

Sutton, 50, has kept a dignified silence since going public with her former Music Man costar Hugh, 56, earlier this year. Now, sources say she’s fed up with Deb’s “betrayal” narrative and raring to speak out.

In May, the 69-year-old Aussie TV star released a scathing statement to the Daily Mail after she filed for divorce from the Wolverine hunk — less than two years after the pair publicly announced their split.

Deb, who got hitched to Hugh in 1996, said, “My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It’s a profound wound that cuts deep.”

Now, an insider says, “Sutton has been biting her tongue, but now she’s sick of it and ready to fight back.”

Hugh was said to be blindsided by his ex’s announcement as he had hoped for an amicable closure after 27 years of marriage and two adopted kids. Adding fuel to the fire, the insider says, Deb and her friends have been badmouthing Hugh nonstop — even though their divorce is now a done deal.

The insider says, “Sutton’s furious. She’s willing to swear on a stack of Bibles that they never got romantic until things were officially done between Deb and Hugh.”

Rumors ran rampant that Hugh and Sutton were canoodling as castmates — but the insider shares that the stage stunner doesn’t care what Deb may have heard through the grapevine.

The source says of Sutton, “She’s no pushover and she’s willing to confront the situation head-on — possibly with an interview of her own where she’ll tell Deb in no uncertain terms to move on.”

“It angers Sutton to see the man she loves painted like a villain by someone who’s ultimately just a very sore loser in love.”
