Sienna Miller thinks her homewrecking would be different if she was a man

fp_3313866_ang_gijoe_cast_072309

Have you ever wanted to see Sienna Miller’s side-boob? No? Well, you’re in luck! Sienna Miller decided to go braless in an inappropriate sequined blouse on Regis & Kelly yesterday, and she flashed the audience and the cameras her side-boob. The blouse really was a bad call – the “sleeves” were oversized, so when Sienna lifted her arm even a little bit, you can make out “the full side-boob”. Huffington Post has the footage.

While promoting G.I. Joe in New York yesterday – which, by the way, is so bad the studio isn’t even showing it to reviewers – Sienna Miller got some questions about her ex-fiancé Jude Law and his baby-mama drama. To her credit, Sienna defended Jude and urged privacy, saying, “I don’t think it’s any of our business to talk about that. It’s not mine and it’s not anyone’s. It’s a very private matter, I think.” I’m actually a little shocked that she didn’t reference the nanny, or how she, Sienna, is the real victim. So, yeah. I’ll give her credit for being nice and respectful about her ex.

In other Sienna news, she sat down for a pretty tough interview with the Guardian recently, and the person interviewing her really didn’t let her get away with anything. First, the Guardian journalist declares that G.I. Joe is “insultingly inane, cynically commercial, and almost unwatchably awful.” So, of course, once Sienna found out that the interviewer didn’t like the film, Sienna had to bad-mouth her paycheck a little too, saying “Well, if these films are well done I can find them quite entertaining… But no, I prefer indie, arty films really. It’s not the kind of film I’d normally go and see.” Here are some of the highlights from the Guardian interview:

On Balthazar Getty and being called a “homewrecker”: “I don’t really want to talk about it,” she says quietly, when I bring up the rumpus of last summer. “I just don’t need that, I really don’t. It was like, I – well, I experienced the judgment of a lot of people – and deservedly so.” She stares at the floor, twisting her shoulders. “So that’s it.”

How it would all be different if she was a man, or, say, Johnny Depp : “Well, it is different… It’s difficult being a woman in this – in any – business. I don’t think we live in a particularly equal society. But sometimes that’s down to our own behaviour.” I ask in what way. “Oh, this is such a deep conversation!” she exclaims, throwing her head back. “And I just know I’m going to say the wrong thing. I can feel it coming… I’m not complaining… I just think it’s, uh, interesting. The truth is, if you’re a man it is a lot easier. I would love to be, you know, Johnny Depp; be a great actor and do great choices and be very private, I would love that. But it’s just not – well, you become a target for a certain kind of attention, and it’s hard to shake. And I’ve done a lot of things that have probably inadvertently attracted attention. All sorts of things – just generally the way I live my life, going out, getting pissed, being seen. So I suppose my behaviour, if you look at it from the outside, would seem as if I’ve somehow contributed towards it, or wanted it.”

On “playing the game” with the paparazzi: “They don’t leave you alone. I’ve tried it, and they still follow you all day.” She pauses and then, to my surprise, she admits honestly: “I don’t know. I just don’t want to play the game. Which is stupid, probably, and has caused me a lot of problems. But I just found it really difficult, as a person. Because I didn’t want to adapt, I didn’t want to conform. I didn’t want my life to change. I was probably greedy in thinking that I could have a career and work and stay exactly the same, and have my life and do what I wanted in it. And, actually, that was really naive. I think I was very naive… I’m basically a mass of contradictions. I’ve said things and meant them, but I’m obviously a very confused person who has no idea how they feel about things.”

On being called a hypocrite: She laughs. “I know, I just worry because I know I say a lot, often. I’ve been so careless and loose lipped. Whatever I say, I get myself into trouble. And you know, it doesn’t bother me – but my mother reads it, and just goes, please! It’s more about the people that get affected around me. I think I’d like to protect myself maybe a little bit better, because the repercussions are often quite upsetting – the repercussions of my own mouth upon myself – and I get bollockings. It’s just a lot of drama for – you know, I could keep my opinions to myself, or share them with people who aren’t writing them down. And not change my personality, but be a little bit more guarded and self-protective. But I’m not . . . I try, but I’m not very good at it.”

On taking a media-training course: The producer of GI Joe, she joked last year, had threatened to get her lessons in how to conduct herself in an interview – “and he was only half-joking”. I’m starting to wonder if he saw it through. “They did talk about media training, but,” she adds quickly, looking embarrassed, “I didn’t do it.”

[From The Guardian]

The Johnny Depp part made me angry. It reminded me of the Jessica Biel-Meryl Streep thing. Yes, I get that technically Jessica Biel was trying to say how much she admired Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett, but I was left with the impression that, in Jessica’s mind, she wouldn’t ever have a Meryl Streep-type career because she’s so gorgeous. I feel the same way about Sienna name-dropping Johnny Depp. Obviously, Johnny is an actor adored by other actors, and of course Depp’s name will be repeated over and over by his fellow actors. But taken in context in Sienna’s interview, she sounds like she’s saying that her behavior would be taken differently if she were a man. That’s sort of true, but there’s something else there: that Sienna doesn’t really see the difference between Johnny’s conscious decision to take himself and his family out of the spotlight for the past decade, and Sienna’s “anything goes, especially if you’re married” philosophy.

    Well, she is right about some things there and she did came across quite honest. I do not dislike Sienna Miller and what she does in her private life is none of our business to go around and call her names and even go a step further and vandalize her life.

  2. caro says:

    it would be different,it’s right: a pretty actor with 4 children cheating wife with another guy publicly.Good idea

  3. tooey says:

    She shows her age! Johnny Depp took a lot of paparazzi stalking and tabloid flack back when he was a drinking party boy destroying hotel rooms. He certainly spent his share of time of the cover of Star and Enquirer and he certainly had to endure his share of tabloid stories speculating on his love life. Until he learned to really live privately and take responsibility for himself. That’s what makes him the man and gives him the character and good will he now enjoys. But he paid his dues back when he behaved kind of like an a-hole.

  4. diddy says:

    i can’t stand sienna ,but i agree with her here.

    man get away with far worse but when a woman does the same she almost crucified.

    getting involved with a married/in relationship person is a nasty thing to do, i dont care if the you are a man or a woman its the same crime ; anyone who homewrecks as they call it should be treated the same

  5. mxml says:

    she’s ‘sort of’ right? no. SHE’S TOTALLY RIGHT. women are judged way more harshly for their decisions and behavior when it comes to sex.

  6. Lem says:

    i listened to her E THS or something while doing paperwork yesterday.
    It wasn’t just Bart or Jude. All of her lover’s seemed to be otherwise involved. AND it seems she sleeps with most if not all of her co-stars.
    IF you want to whore it up; fine whore it up. You’re entitled. but don’t poor me. Own it and you won’t be a poor me.
    to paraphrase on of her friends ‘Jude couldn’t help it, when Sienna knows what she wants… he didn’t stand a chance against being seduced’
    directors either fawned over her or subtly admitted shes a tramp ‘and no man can resist her’

  7. Iggles says:

    I hate when whiners and narcissists try to blame their bad publicity on different -isms. In Sienna’s case her bad rep is due to sexism. Right.. It has nothing to do with going on topless holidays with a married father of 4!

    She is no feminist matryr.

  8. mae says:

    And she’s right. So much double standard. When a woman is sleeping around it’s considered sluty, but in a man’s case it’s viewed as ‘normal’.
    Funny how no one blames B. Getty in this whole “homewrecking” story.

  9. Niamh says:

    Tooey said it frist: When Johnny was her age, he certainly did not garner the respect he does now, and showed no indications of ending up the way he did- a complete 360 turn around.

    I’m as biased as Kaiser, because I adore Sienna. This is one of the most honest interviews I’ve read from any celebrity.

    S’he’s not saying “poor me” – she’s saying “f*ck I get it! Most people don’t like me, and here’s why”

    CB employs the most close-minded folks.

  10. People *are* saying that Balthazar is as much of a creep as Sienna for their affair.

    It’s just that Balthy keeps his mouth shut & Sienna complains about it, so we hear more about her.

  11. Orangejulius says:

    How many other actors and actresses sleep with their co-stars? Plenty. She’s been over-judged. No, I’m not saying because plenty of people do it that makes it right, but why single her out? This was a good interview and it didn’t seem a bit ‘poor me’ to me.

  12. icky says:

    oh man! give me an effing break..She obviously doesn’t have a publicist. Now she is trying to show her weakness in an effort to gain media sympathy- from both viewers and interviewers – And she’ll go on and on about how she is stupid and confused and naive- BUT she won’t talk about hurting an innocent family by sleeping with a married man..over and over again- eff u Sienna “skank” Miller – she wants to be johnny depp and f*ck married people? Is that what she’s saying?

  13. Iggles says:

    Yea, Balthazar Getty’s career has been taking a hit too! He’s off Brothers and Sisters! His co-stars hate him. His family are angry with him. When he and his wife finally divorce she’s gonna get custody AND huge monthly payouts (as she deserves!). He’s a loser who drinks and goes on skeezy holidays with his mistress.

    He’s taking his lumps as he should. He isn’t much of an actor so I don’t think his career will bounce back from this mess!

  14. Lem says:

    was saying in the THS it came off as “poor me” actually it was more ‘why can’t I be talked about for my talent instead of my sex life’ and at the same time ‘Sienna’s sex life generates the publicity that fuels the movie box office.’
    In this article she seems to be owning it. Therefore, kudos.
    Guess I wasn’t clear.
    Also, don’t mind if she sleeps with Tom, Dick and Harry. She’s single.
    I think she’s singled out for the WAY she does it. She slept with Jude Law while engaged to the model. She slept with Daniel Craig while engaged to Jude Law. She slept with I forget (orlando?) while engaged to the guy who’s name I can’t spell. Then she was dating that other guy with the same last name and started sleeping with his married co-star.
    When a man acts like that, he gets called on it. Colin Farrell anyone? Claim it, and stop sleeping with married men. In real life, let alone hollywood, once your get a rep for married men- meh- you just can’t shake it.

  15. pinkdeerguns says:

    Kaiser, Naimh: is right about you, you really are very closed-minded. you just did that article about gerard butler and made it seem like like his womanizing, aka:man-whoring, was a cute little flaw he has, while sienna is just
    a little slut who can’t keep her legs, and mouth, shut. While she probably does
    get a lot of tail, i fail to see the difference between a guy sleeping around with hot models, and a girl sleeping around with hot guys. And this article kind of proved her point about media bias against women when it comes to sex.

  16. Marianne says:

    Obviously, women are much harshly judged and crucified in society than men. Anyone can see that. Now, I don’t think Sienna is respectful enough to other women to open her mouth and act as if she was the ultimate feminist icon. Even with all sexism, I don’t think it would look too pretty for any guy to run off with someone else’s wife and take the 4 kids with him.
    Balthazar is also facing the consequences of what he did. His career is a joke, his family hates him and Rosetta will take a lot of money for the divorce. Jude Law also took a lot of shit for what he did and the bad publicity keeps coming. So, although the media is much more cruel to women than to men, you can’t say that that all the guys don’t face a bit of punishment when they do something wrong.
    I think it’s very convenient for Sienna to blame the others, and not herself for her stinkers. Typical loser. Perhaps, if she was more talented and got involved in good projects, people could ignore her personal life. But she has nothing other than herself to promote. Sad for her. Because other former “homewreckers” keep getting good work.

  17. Trey says:

    “Well, it is different… It’s difficult being a woman in this – in any – business. I don’t think we live in a particularly equal society. But sometimes that’s down to our own behaviour.” I ask in what way. “Oh, this is such a deep conversation!” she exclaims, throwing her head back.

    Wow, yeah, what a deep conversation. About as deep as my tampon.

  18. Tania says:

    If she could quit running rampshod over other people in her pursuit of happiness, if she had just a little care and compassion for anyone but herself, everyone might not hate her. As it is, she is just a useless, selfish, spoiled brat!

  19. jj says:

    She will never get it. Take a look back at the pics of this affair and some had her mother in the picture. It was so public and hurtful. Yes, marriages end, but SM just rubbed it in Mrs.Getty’s face. That’s the disgusting part and that’s what people will judge her on. Just a ho, looking for a rich man. To bad she picked an idiot and addict.

    from GQ magazine

    ‘I’ve actually been kind of single for the past year. I’ve had somebody on the end of the phone maybe, but I haven’t been living with anyone or been in a proper relationship, and it’s been really great.’

    LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    go to justjared and see the pictures of this sIut

  22. y says:

    If she was a man, may be he will home wreck married woman’s home. because she(he) seemed has mental illness, envy others happy family life with wife and husband, and have baby. anyway her acting will proof either she spoke truth or again she took lie, like again and again she did. If she speaks true this time. I hope next time she choose right man to relate with, have no wife, hove no baby in his life before and that time she will meets.

  23. Dana says:

    No Sienna, you’re just as big a scumbag as Balthazar. I hope your entire relationship with him is one gigantic baggage filled pain in the ass for you both. And I hope his wife gets EVERYTHING and you end up supporting him LOL!!!

  24. Harley says:

    Honestly, I feel for the girl. I think she is confused and overwhelmed by things, and I think she should at least get credit for how many times in this interview she admitted her own behavior was at fault.

  25. fern says:

    She admits that she what she did was wrong, but the fact that she even added “but if I was a man things would be different” just negates this. SM just isn’t complete unless she is playing the victim or passing the buck. She doesn’t sound sincere. If she really thought that she “deserved it”, then she would have left it at “I was wrong” and there would not have been any “ifs, ands, or buts”. It comes off like she is just saying this to appease her “audience” and not because she truly means it.

    SM has a selective memory. JL was a man and yet he received immense criticism from the public and SM/her mothers for his affair; the critism was so bad that he issused a public apology to SM. So she keeps reminding the public about how JL hurt her because she doesn’t think that he has received enough criticism for what he did to her?
    She can not point the finger at others without pointing the finger at herself for she publicly threatened JL nanny. So if JL nanny had been a man, she wouldn’t have criticized her?

    Some women are unfailry treated,but SM is not one of them. SM brought the criticism upon herself because she won’t lay low, shut up, own up to her bad behavior, and stop flaunting/rubbing her affair in the married’s man’s wife’s face, spreading lies about the married man’s wife, playing the victim, or blaming others. What did she expect, that being cheated on would exempt her from the consequences of her very public affair with a married man? Did she think that whining about how JL hurt her would make people forget about the hurt that she is causing someone else? She can’t hurt people and expect to come out of it smelling like roses. SM is not a victim of double standards, she is just hiding behind this argument because she doesn’t want to own up to her bad behavior. The double standards is always implying that she is suffering more than the married man’s wife and kids, who unlike SM have managed to cope with their pain privately even though they have been publicly humilated throughout this affair.

    Bringing up JD name just made her look even worse. This is a man who when he says he wants privacy, means it and takes the proper precautions to keep his name from appearing in the headlines every week. He isn’t out having public affairs with someone’s else’s spouse or stepping on the backs of others just because he is JD. If JD who is more famous and talent than SM can keep his private life private then you know SM can do the same.

  26. fern says:

    The paps will leave her alone when she stops tipping them off. She has managed to evade the paps on mutiple occasions, so no one is falling for the nonsense that the paps are “always stalking her”. If she doesn’t want to be seen/heard, she knows just what to do to not be seen/heard. She vacationed with the married man in Mexico, yet the paps who “just won’t leave her alone” didn’t get any photos of them sunbathing/kissing each other. She popped up in LA several times after the married man was spotted with his wife and kids, and there were no photos of her visiting the married man(even though she kept dropping hints that she was still sleeping with him). Either she has mastered the technique of teleportation or she tips off the paps when it suits her. It only becomes a problem when the paps don’t follow her fairytale version of things. Besides, how does she explain the fact that many celebs who a far more talented/famous than she is have managed to avoid the paps and keep their private lives private? It is really obvious that she tips them off because she is always found doing things that normal celebs are rarely seen doing (one week she was spotted at an airport 5 times in a row, except for Lindsey Lohan and maybe Britney Spears how many celebs have been spotted five times in a row at an airport over a span of 3-4 days?)

    When she says that she doesn’t want to adapt what she really means is that she is afarid that the public will forget her if she doesn’t tip off the paps.

  27. sheryl says:

    Oh come on, PULEASE! This is not an honest interview, this is more of the same whining that she’s been doing all along. Particularly the 1st and 4th paragraphs: She quietly refuses to discuss Getty (oh, how demure!), yet she has went on for nigh on 4 years about what Jude did. So yeah, that makes you a big fat honkin’ hypocrite! (Although, I have to admit, I can’t even discern what you were trying to get across in the “hypocrite” paragraph…there were a lot of words but they didn’t really convey a coherent thought…something about your mouth and your mom, I think).
    So yeah….we’re still at “poor Sienna.”
