Cole addressed her relationship in a special guest blog for The Wrap. “The hypocrisy of being out in the world preaching feminist ideals,” she wrote. “While at the same time, taking away my right to make choices for my life and my body based on the truth.”

“He deceived me for 15 years,” Cole continued. “So he could have everything he wanted. I believed, everyone believed, that he was one of the good guys, committed to fighting for women’s rights, committed to our marriage, and to the women he worked with.”

And the problems continued for Cole even after their divorce: “But I now see how he used his relationship with me as a shield, both during and after our marriage, so no one would question his relationships with other women or scrutinize his writing as anything other than feminist.”
