Bradley Cooper's Ex Jennifer Esposito: He's a 'Mean, Cold Manipulator'

She describes the mystery suitor as, “funny, smart, cocky, arrogant and a master manipulator,” adding that she didn’t “necessarily find him that attractive.” They quickly became a couple, although the actress says her boyfriend had a “mean, cold side” and “his personality could flip on a dime.”

Esposito claims the relationship was an unhealthy one, focused primarily on his needs and nothing else and that she was “a nonissue.” Esposito also writes that she felt “sidelined” from her own health and needs.

“I became very sad and felt very alone,” she writes. The union ended after she attended a seminar at the Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles in 2007, she writes, which is when her marriage to Bradley ended.

On the bright side, she’s now focused on her own health (she suffers from celiac disease, and she’s since opened a gluten-free bakery) and doing well. [NY Daily News]

Here is the most suspect Rihanna/Drake rumor of all time: Rih is mad at Drake for saying “Babe, you’re too needy. Let me hustle, babe.” Some issues with this: 1) Rihanna is a professional no-fucks-giver; 2) I would like to believe that I live in a world in which no one sandwiches his request for space between utterances of the word “babe.” [The Hollywood Gossip]
