After Marlee Matlin talked to Nancy O’Dell about the abuse she suffered at the hands of William Hurt, he has apologized.

The two starred together in “Children Of A Lesser God” and subsequently began dating.

She said:

“I always had fresh bruises everyday. And if I had a split lip, or if… I mean, there were a lot of things that happened that were not pleasant. I was afraid. I was always afraid… of him. But I loved him. I did. Or maybe I thought I did. But look, I was 19, he was 35.”

She also discussed her book, where she talks about her relationship with Hurt.

Of the possible repercussions of going public, Matlin said, “He knows what happened, I know what happened, we both were there.”

Since, he’s issued an apology, stating, “I did and so apologize for any pain I caused.”

Is it enough?
