Sienna Miller: Perez is tacky, I battle with public perception of my acting


Sienna Miller is now in Positano, Italy with her married boyfriend, the actor and oil heir Balthazar Getty. Miller, 26, and father of four Getty, 33, were photographed kissing on a boat on Saturday. Miller was topless and wearing only her bikini bottoms. The two also enjoyed lunch on the balcony of their hotel in Italy. Getty was wearing a shirt but Miller apparently forgot hers again. You can see those photos at Mr. Paparazzi’s site.

There’s a new interview in the British version of OK! Magazine with Miller. She was asked to name the worst thing she’s seen written about herself, and she said that Perez Hilton scrawled the word “slutty” over a picture of her visiting her grandparents’ grave:

What’s the worst thing you’ve seen written about yourself…
Oh God. I went to see my grandparents’ grave with my father and they took a photo of us sitting. Above Miller on the tombstone [Perez Hilton, internet blogger] wrote ‘slutty.’ I just thought that was unbelievably tacky. That was a weird place to be papped. There are times when you have no idea someone is there and then suddenly there’s a photo and that is always a bit weird.

She also repeated the claim that I’ve heard her go on about before that the media attention takes away from the public’s perception of her acting ability. She said essentially the same thing in an interview with The Times in June. She also brought up the war and starving people as if we’re the ones being heartless by paying attention to her. And then Miller says that hopefully the public will stop noticing all the crap she gets up to with married men and be awed by her acting ability instead:

Do you feel you’re treated unfairly by the media?
They don’t want me to be a good actress, they want me to be what they say that I am, which is actually very far from the truth. But at the end of the day it’s not a big deal. I mean, there’s a war on, people are starving, we live on a little island and it’s not important.

But still it’s your private life everyone wants to know about…
I think with time.. All I can do is focus on work and try to do a good job. Hopefully, eventually that will supersede the other less meaningful aspects of my life, but it’s a process, you know. It’s a battle.

[From OK! Magazine, UK print edition, July 15, 2008]

Yeah, it’s a battle for sure for Sienna, and she’s throwing in the towel by going on vacation with a married guy and whipping her top off every chance she gets. She’s calling the fact that she’s cavorting topless with a married man “a less meaningful aspect” of her life when compared to her acting. I bet his wife doesn’t feel that way. Somehow Sienna seems to bring the slut with her wherever she goes, whether it’s tacky or not to point it out.

I looked through Perez’s site for about five minutes and couldn’t find the photo in question, so if you have a direct link for that slutty cemetery pic please comment with it.

Sienna Miller is shown on 6/22/08 at LAX, thanks to WENN

    Gargantuan media whore. Afraid we’re stuck with her shenanigans for years folks.

  2. Syko says:

    Our perception of her acting? Usually it’s easy enough to perceive if someone can act or not. I haven’t seen her in anything (that I recall), but I also haven’t heard any raves about her brilliance.

    And she is a slut. Perez was right.

  3. geronimo says:

    Have no problem with anything said about Miller here but please, CB, can you leave out the topless = slut implication??

    I sunbathe topless, as do my friends, as do millions of other people – it keeps on coming up and it’s actually kind of tiresome. Sienna is slutty but not because she sunbathes topless in the company of a married man.

  4. Anna says:

    Yeah, she battles that perception because nobody likes to be called a bad actress when they are.
    God, I hate Sienna Miller in such a frustrating way because I’m never able to recognise her (everytime I see a bland blonde in a movie whose name I can’t remember, it turns out to be her) or understand why people have called her “fashion idol”.

  5. emma says:

    You know who is also vacationing in Italy? Balthazar Getty’s wife and kids. How classy of them to also go to Italy.

  6. ghis-in-fr says:

    Something i am sure sienna loves s*x. Girl like that, you take her home and does her from morning until evening. May be you need v*agra.

  7. Silly Lilly says:

    she gets picked on because her acting is no where near what she THINKS it is… and because she has a penchant for married men. Now, I dunno about you…but that makes her pretty slutty in my book. And let us not forget that it was SHE who MET perez and required him to call her princess slutyenna.

    She cannot act imho. So there is no perception problem. Oh maybe SHE has a perception problem. Maybe I read that wrong…hmmm….. đŸ™„

  8. Hel says:

    Why is it always the person who is not married is called a slut?? He is the one is his cheating on his wife.

    And it is not slutty to sunbathe topless, plenty of women in Europe do it every day – its not considered a big deal over here.

  9. Sol says:

    BG wife is italian he should have gone elsewhere.Isn’t it lovely the tattoo he has in his chest with his wife name?
    Sienna is s…y because she can’t be without a man for more than a week regardless if they are married or not.

  10. vdantev says:

    Why is it always the person who is not married is called a slut?? Because being with a married man who isn’t your husband is slutty- sorry if you missed the meeting. Damn double standards. If this story focused on a man cheating on his wife- your vitriol would be insane. But since this focused on the woman, oh its demeaning to call her a slut.

    WTF ever.

  11. kimmi says:

    Sienna is definitely a slut, but so is Getty. I think the “cavorting” is mutual. He is a dirty scumbag who should be at home with his family.

  12. Bodhi says:

    She is a mediocre actress at best & she makes a huge spectacle of her love life. Why is she surprised at people perceptions of her?

    Although I agree writing over a pic of her at her grandparents’ grave was really tacky

  13. Kolby says:

    I can’t say whether she’s slutty or not – although the myriad stories of her hooking up with men who just happen to already be in relationships (remember Diddy?) kind of paint the picture for you. I’d say that anyone who would have an affair with a married person, or cheat on their spouse, could easily be considered a slut – most non-slutty people would cease their behavior at hearing/saying, “I’m married.”

    As for her acting, it would take much more than the media leaving her alone to convince those of us who’ve been subjected to her performances that she’s a good actress. A little bit of modesty about her “skill” might help, too.

  14. janepitt says:

    She’s an okay actress I’ve seen worse. But, to take up with a married man with 4 children, how the hell can she defend that? He’s actually worse than she is.

  15. ri23 says:

    He’s married and screwing around, she knows he’s married and is screwing him.
    She and Getty are both whores.

  16. Dingles says:

    I can’t stand this woman. She obviously gets off on being with married men and breaking up families- she’s famous because of it, not her acting.
    Then she goes on these interviews and plays all aloof about why the mean ole’ public doesn’t just ignore the fact that she’s a bitch and focus on her acting, which is servicable at best.

    And she’s not a slut because she sunbathes, she’s a slut because she throws herself at any male who has a band on his left hand.

  17. daisy424 says:

    I have never seen this woman in a single movie. No interest.
    But, going after a married man (Ill-bred), with small children (sybaritic), she gets NO sympathy from me for her well deserved moniker from Perez.
    He’s thinking with his itty bitty dick.
    His wife should get the best lawyer HIS money can buy.

  18. Kaiser/ Hippacrat says:

    But seriously, what acting? The only thing I’ve ever seen her in is Layer Cake. Which I loved for Daniel Craig, not this Kate Moss wannabe.

  19. TIA says:

    I heard her and P DIDDY were an item..

  20. hmmm... says:

    I, too, perused the PH website (Sienna Miller archive) in search of the pic with her father and failed to find said picture. Can someone please tell me what movies she’s been in? B/c I don’t really know what acting “career” anyone is talking about.

  21. Deb says:

    I know it takes two to tango, but one is regrettable ie. Jude Law but two is a pattern..Media whore indeed…

  22. masquedance says:

    I haven’t heard Sienna complaining about all the negative publicity Jude Law STILL gets for having cheated on her with his children’s nanny. Pot meet kettle?

  23. jinx says:

    Yes, Perez is a gargantuan media who, Hot Topic anyone? Hahahhaha! But seriously, she’s young and stupid, he’s young with 4 little kids and just got lured away for a few weeks. He’ll go home with his peen tucked between his legs and continue his acting career and she’s about the age she’ll have to start sleeping with directors and producers to land jobs acting. Her career will be over in the next decade when another blond slutty chick comes along.

    This stuff happens all the time,

  24. Kolby says:

    She’s been in Layer Cake, Factory Girl, Stardust (small role), Casanova (with Heath Ledger – remember how she was just so devastated after his death and was more than heppy to tell the paps about it?) and, uh, some other stuff????

  25. Lola says:

    She is just a faceless actress. I guess that is why she needs to be in the tabloids. Maybe, just maybe we may eventually start to recognise her.

  26. Blackalicious says:

    Sorry CB I cannot brave hilton’s site for even a minute. I am allergic to all of the ‘LOLS! WTF! ROFL #$@#$@#$@#$’ etc..I think the level on idiocy there trumps all other similar sites.

    She has a great figure but what is the draw here? I see prettier women walking around all the time. She is preposterous in the interview here, too: we don’t WANT her to be a bad actress, she simply IS.

    And she was in one of the worst movies ever called ‘Interview’; my husband rented it and I just laughed throughout. It was on par with ‘Glitter’. Seriously, if you want to laugh rent this (supposed to be a drama). She sucked in Cassanova, to. Heath Ledger was excellent but she ruined the damned movie.

    Another funny thing I read in the UK news is that Sienna is now a pariah in what is called the ‘Primrose Hill’ set (all of her peers, including Kate Moss, Sadie Frost..)who are pissed at what she did to Rhys Ifans. Great.. now she might move to L.A permanently. More Sienna news! ugh.

  27. saintdevil says:

    She may be a slut – but she never promised to be faithful to Getty’s wife.

    So I find it unfair that he gets let off more easily than her.

    Same thing happened when Jolie “stole” Brad Pitt.

    It’s as if men are viewed as having no choice whenever a sexy piece of ass comes by…

  28. daisy424 says:

    I agree saintdevil, she never promised to be faithful to Getty’s wife, nor did Angelina to Pitt’s wife. The vows are between the spouses.
    I get pissed when there are innocent children involved.

  29. Jenna says:

    Eh, she is boring. Her and her friend Kiera Knightley. They either talk about sex or how they are trying to put on weight all the time. Can she go to an acting school for an eternity?

  30. MSat says:

    She’s a middle of the road actress and the only reason anyone even gives a shit about her is because she’s a slut.

    I love how a few months ago she was all pissed off at the paparazzi, calling them “rapists” because they got photos of a nude scene she did for a movie, but the girl has no problems baring it all on a boat in front of a bunch of people. You can’t have it both ways, honey. She’s a little ho-bag AND a hypocrite. She keeps denying this thing with Getty but yet we see them making out all over the place. So, to sum up: she’s talentless, she’s a whore, she’s full of shit and she’s stupid.

  31. ihatesienna says:

    she ain’t nick named SLUTTYIENNA for nothing!!

  32. ant1 says:

    The reason that all the attention is focused on Sienna is that she has serially dated married men, if getty had constantly cheated on his wife, he would be the one people slagged off, he’s smitten with Sienna but she’s gonna move on to the next one very quickly and leave him without a family, she’s a ho

  33. Supermodel4u305 says:

    People who sunbathe topless in public ARE SLUTS. Y? Because they have no decency what-so-ever. They show off there bodies whenever they can and leave nothihg to the imagination. You never saw anybody from Old Hollywood doing that. Y? Because its tasteless. Because they ARE CLASSY. Women today? Not so much. Just a bunch of sleezes
