Is it too late now to say sorry? Because the internet totally latched onto the Charlize Theron ghosting thing and declared it a symptom of our culture's further decline (ahem)—except it wasn't true, apparently.
"There is a need to sensationalize things," she said in the April issue of WSJ magazine. "When you leave a relationship there has to be some f*cking crazy story or some crazy drama. And the f*cking ghosting thing, like literally, I still don't even know what it is. It's just its own beast."
For the record, Theron said she didn't stop answering ex Sean Penn's calls and texts—they just decided to separate without drama/possibly causing emotional damage to her son, Jackson, or daughter, August.
"There was an understanding that I was a single mom with a very young boy who I had to put in a situation where he understood that Mommy dates, but that he does not have a father, you know what I mean?" she said. "You have to be very careful and very honest about that stuff. And Sean was great with all of that."
