Jenna Dewan Shuts Down Channing Drinking Rumor

From ELLE

Jenna Dewan has made her first statement since she and Channing Tatum announced their separation late Monday to put an end to one report going around that Tatum's excessive drinking and extramarital flirting caused their split. "Happy to clarify that absolutely none of these rumors are true," a rep for Dewan told Daily Mail. "The reason our statement was so positive [was] because that’s the reality of the situation."

The initial false report came from The Mirror, which claimed "sources close to the Hollywood couple" believed Tatum's "drinking and partying ways drove a wedge into their nine-year marriage." It cited a 2014 quote from Tatum, where he told GQ, "I probably drink too much, you know. My wife, that’s what she bought into.… I’m probably a pretty high-functioning, I guess, you know, I would say, alcoholic, I guess."

The Mirror also cited a 2015 report from Star about Tatum's "flirtatious behavior with other women while he was filming Foxcatcher" as being a contributor to the couple's problems.

Dewan's remark shuts this down and points back to the official statement the two gave explaining their split. They wrote:

Of course, every reputable tabloid has published intel from sources "close to the two" on why they split, too.
