Hatcher: "Mystery Man" Isn't Clooney, And He Knows It!

After "New York Post" claims that Teri Hatcher's acrid breakup with George Clooney caused her to go public with sexual abuse claims, both Hatcher and Clooney deny, deny, deny.

Breaking up is hard to do, but press coverage is harder.

After a "New York Post" article revealed the "Mystery Man" that "Desperate Housewives" star Teri Hatcher named in a "Vanity Fair" interview to be Oscar winner George Clooney, Hatcher stepped up to the plate and attacked the Post for their callousness.

"[The paper] has twisted this story into a scandalous report about my personal life," Hatcher said, which has nothing to do with her relationship with Clooney some four years ago. Hatcher also decried that her personal trauma, which she wanted to use to raise awareness about child abuse in the U.S., is being levied against her ex, with whom she says she is still friends.

Clooney corroborated that he and Hatcher are still friendly, saying the actress has "a very courageous story" to tell, and that their relationship is nothing like that described in the Post.

"I know the story [that a "Mystery Man" broke her heart and forced her to come clean] is attractive," Clooney said, "but it isn't true and it takes away from her brave decision."
