Son defends Gary Oldman
The son of Oscar winner Gary Oldman, Gulliver Oldman has defended his father after the actor's former wife's claims of spousal abuse resurfaced.
He slammed his mother,Donya Fiorentino, for perpetuating an alleged domestic violence incident that he says never happened.
“I can see how coming out with a statement to combat an allegation must look. However, I was there at the time of the ‘incident’, so I'd like to make this radiantly clear: it didn't happen. Anyone who says it did is lying” Gulliver said.
His comment followed an interview by his mother in which she called her four-year marriage to Gary a “nightmare”.
The couple separated in 2001. Fiorentino had filed court documents accusing the actor of assaulting her in front of their two children.
