Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster appear to be exhausted by the ongoing drama following Jackman’s split from his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
According to a May 2026 report from Woman’s Day, Jackman has become “increasingly frustrated” by the perception that many of his industry friends, including Russell Crowe and Naomi Watts, are siding with Deb after their divorce. Tensions reportedly escalated when Nicole Kidman avoided Jackman and Foster at the 2026 Met Gala, a move that Jackman blamed on Deb.
Hollywood insider Rob Shuter previously claimed that Kidman—who was a co-chair at the Met Gala—is “firmly Team Deb” and believes Deb was “deeply hurt” over how her decades-long marriage with Jackman ended.
“Nicole isn’t interested in pretending otherwise just because Hugh showed up with a new woman on his arm,” a source told Naughty But Nice. “Deb’s ‘betrayal’ comment was not forgotten in Hollywood. A lot of people close to her feel Hugh did her wrong, and Nicole is one of the friends who has stayed incredibly protective.”
A source alleged to Woman’s Day that Jackman is growing “increasingly angry that more and more people in Hollywood are quietly turning against him,” adding, “He thinks Deb is behind it and says there’s been a steady drip of poison from her camp.”
“It’s not just Nicole – he’s now convinced Naomi Watts and Russell Crowe are ditching him for Deb too,” they revealed.
The source added that Foster has been deeply affected by the situation, which makes Jackman extremely upset. “He’s very protective of her and says it’s incredibly unfair that she’s being frozen out by people who used to happily socialise with her,” they explained. “He’s asking Deb not to stir the pot. He says this has spiralled way beyond a normal breakup. He’s no longer prepared to sit back and take it.”
