Deborra-Lee Furness Goes Makeup-Free on Scooter in NYC Amid Talk of Tell-All Book on Hugh Jackman Split

Deborra-Lee Furness appeared to be moving on with her life as she stepped out in New York on Wednesday. 

The Australian actress rode an electric scooter around the trendy area of Soho while wearing a helmet. 

The 69-year-old went makeup free for the outing, pulled her blonde hair off her face to tuck under the head gear.

Deborra-Lee opted for a black shirt under a matching hoodie along with a pair of three quarter tights. 

She completed her look with a pair of sneakers and carried a phone in a bright yellow case.

It comes reports that Deborra-Lee is planning to release a no-holds-barred ‘divorce diary’ detailing her painful split from Hugh Jackman and the heartbreak that followed.

The rumours claim she is currently documenting her emotional roller-coaster journey, with plans to publish the memoir once her divorce from the Wolverine star is legally finalised.

‘Deb’s been desperate to have her side of the story out there,’ an alleged source told New Idea.

‘She’s been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce. As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.’

The revelations come just weeks after Deb filed official divorce papers, ending her 27-year marriage to Hugh, 55, and issuing a powerful public statement where she spoke of her ‘traumatic journey of betrayal’.

Deborra-Lee earlier opened up about her feelings of ‘betrayal’ in a blistering statement to the Daily Mail. 

Hugh and Deborra-Lee’s split appeared to turn bitter when she spoke about her ‘traumatic journey of betrayal’ in the wake of her divorce filing last month.

‘My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,’ she said.

‘It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.’

She continued: ‘This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. 

‘I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.

‘It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.’

She concluded her statement with the ‘one thing’ she has learned, which is ‘that none of this is personal.’

Deb’s emotional declaration signalled a turning point in what had largely been a quiet and dignified separation – until now.

Sources claim that while Deb is remaining composed publicly, behind closed doors she’s preparing to reclaim her narrative with a raw and honest memoir that could shine a spotlight on Jackman’s new romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster.

The New Idea insider added that the actress won’t be holding back: ‘She won’t be silenced. This is her truth.’

Meanwhile, tensions are said to be rising between Jackman and Foster, 50, as he pushes to integrate his new partner into the family unit he once shared with Deb.

The Aussie actor is reportedly eager for Sutton to form a bond with his and Deborra-Lee’s adopted children – Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19 – but the process hasn’t been smooth.

‘Sutton begged Hugh to stop forcing the situation,’ a source claimed to New Idea, adding that the Broadway star is keen to delay any introductions until the divorce is officially settled.

‘It was Oscar’s birthday recently and Ava’s is coming up in July and Hugh couldn’t see an issue with wanting to include his other half,’ the insider explained. ‘But Sutton’s anxious about rushing things and believes it’s too soon.’

Foster, who also shares an adopted daughter, Emily, 7, with ex-husband Ted Griffin, is said to be treading carefully, especially with the shadow of Deb’s scathing comments still lingering.

The cracks in the Jackman-Furness split were further exposed last week when Hugh was spotted out in public for the first time since Deb’s explosive statement, fuelling rumours that the once amicable separation has turned bitter behind the scenes.

If Deborra-Lee’s book plans go ahead, it’s likely to be one of the most anticipated celebrity memoirs in years – and with decades of Hollywood secrets, personal struggles, and a headline-grabbing split to unpack, publishers will no doubt be lining up.
