(ANI):
American
actress
Meg
Ryan
has
revealed
how
she
had
hurt
Aussie
actor
Russell
Crowe
when
she
walked
away
from
him.
Ryan,
46,
who
had
been
married
to
actor
Dennis
Quaid,
revealed
that
she
had
not
been
ready
for
a
serious
relationship
with
Crowe
after
she
found
out
that
her
then
hubby
was
having
an
affair.
"I
was
a
mess
-
I
hurt
him
(Crowe)
too
at
the
end," the
Daily
Telegraph
quoted
her
as
saying
about
the
relationship.
"I
couldn''t
be
in
another
long
relationship
-
it
wasn''t
the
time
for
that,
so
I
got
out,"
she
said.
The
actress
further
stated
that
Crowe,
who
she
had
an
affair
with
in
2000
while
co-starring
in
Proof
of
Life,
was
not
responsible
for
the
break
up
of
her
nine-year
marriage
to
Quaid.
"Russell
didn''t
break
up
the
marriage,"
she
said
in
an
interview
with
US
magazine
In
Style."Dennis
was
not
faithful
to
me
for
a
long
time
and
that
was
very
painful.
"I
found
out
more
about
that
after
I
was
divorced,"
she
added.
Ryan
said
that
she
was
shocked
by
the
public
outrage
aimed
at
her
after
she
ended
her
union
with
Quaid,
with
tabloid
stories
casting
her
as
the
cheater.
