I believed it then and his recent apology admits as much. Let's not blame the victim for not coming forward sooner....I'm sure Marlee loved him then for his brilliance and intensity and fame, at that time. Her reputation rests on that film and she likely didn't want to sully it before now.

It takes some people longer than others to overcome their own personal issues that come along with being abused. I do not find that this is about publicity or anything other than she finally came to terms with what happened and as part of her healing processs, revealed the secret. No one had a problem when Oprah revealed that she had been molested by her father over 30 yrs before her revelation.... Get off Marlee's back.

Is'nt that a form of racism? Ok so who'se to blame here? Its beeen documented that abused women continue to set themselves up with ppl who are abusive. Also she gained fame and fortune and slept with him at a young age. The world would have said Marlee who?? She's looking for an authority figure in her life.. oh wow she married a cop? So owe up woman. I get the sense that because she’s deaf shes innocent. Is’nt that a form of racism?

BECAUSE SHE CHOSE TO TELL HER STORY NOW.........SO THE F**K WHAT!!! If he hurt her like that, she deserves to capitalize off of it, if she so desires to!!! It really P*sses me off when people speak ill about the dam victims. I think that it is her decision to deal with her abuse in whatever way she feels is best for her and her family. Everybody handles things differently, I, personally would have put his a** in jail, with a quickness!, but that's me! ****If she makes money off of his embarassment, SO BE IT!!! If he is a abuser, he deserves to be outted, to warn other potential victims!!! **********For the people who are judging Marlee for telling her story now that she is launching her book!!!!

People want Chris Brown to hang, but we should just forgive Hurt because he's a great actor, even though he's a SERIAL abuser of MULTIPLE women. Yikes. Wow racial double standard.

It was known that he physically abused her twenty years ago, and others as well. Why on earth would she edit an important event from her autobiography? Marlee is a brilliant actress, a beautiful woman, and a wonderful human being. William Hurt was once a brilliant actor (not familiar with any recent work), handsome (not so much now), and a loser as a human being. Does Marlee hope to earn money by publishing her autobiography? Probably. That is one of the motives of most people who publish an autobiography, or any other book, and it is not a crime. It is too bad that Marlee's acting career was severely curtailed by her deafness. I wish her the best. This ‘controversy’ is ridiculous.
