Deborra-Lee Furness has raised eyebrows with a comment on Instagram, which many read as a thinly veiled dig at her ex-husband Hugh Jackman.
When Scandal actress Kerry Washington promoted her new series Imperfect woman last month with the caption “You can’t trust anyone … EVER,” Furness said from the comments section.
“HILARIOUS… so true,” the 70-year-old wrote, a response fans quickly met with a flood of thumbs-up and smiley emojis, widely interpreted as a pointed reference to her very public divorce.
Jackman, 57, is said to have been less than pleased.
According to Daily Maila source claimed he was “blindsided” by the comment and “extremely disappointed”, suggesting there had been an unspoken agreement that she would not speak out against him in public.
The couple announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, releasing a joint statement at the time that described their union as “a wonderful, loving marriage” and framed the split as a mutual decision to “pursue our individual growth.”
Their divorce was finalized on June 12, 2025, according to court records from New York’s Suffolk County Supreme Court.
Furness had filed on uncontested terms that only required a judge’s signature.
Jackman has since moved on with Broadway actress and singer Sutton Foster, 51.
