ARYN DRAKE-LEE IS STILL BITTER

Aryn is still bitter about the dissolution of her marriage and spoke about the sacrifices she made to further Williams' career.

“When the divorce process started I had two nursing babies, and I am the one that ran our household for the 14 and a half years that he and I were together in the same house. And for our children, and for the creation of the businesses that we built together when I left my career in New York for us to move to California to pursue his, and then as a result built it…I knew, as the one that was really holding it all together, that I didn’t have a lot of room to fall, even though I was falling,” Aryn revealed.

Aryn blames the Hollywood scene and the values of the entertainment industry for the failure of her relationship with Williams.

She revealed that she is now rebuilding her life, and has gathered a network of like-minded friends who are supporting and helping her to heal.
