“All of this unfolded at the beginning of covid when people were locked away in their homes,” she said in the book (via E! News). “The feeding frenzy for new information was at an all-time high. It was the perfect storm. Every day, more and more articles were published. Yet, Armie stayed silent. At the time, he had decided not to talk to anyone for the sake of his family.”
She continued, “The protective mother wanted to call him and say, ‘Let me loose. I saw what puppy dogs these women were with you. How could this be happening?’ Instead, I also decided to stay quiet. It wasn’t appropriate for me to defend Armie even though I fought the urge with ever cell in my body. I prayed and mourned for my son and all involved. I prayed some more.”
Dru commented on what Armie was accused of doing.
“Armie made some bad personal choices that damaged his reputation and were hurtful to women,” she said. “None of his choices were crimes. In fact, after an extensive look into what happened by the Los Angeles Police Department, all of the allegations were dismissed. Armie was cleared of all legal wrongdoing, but his moral wrongdoing was a different matter. The lingering effects of cancel culture endured, along with some broken hearts.”
“Much to his demise, Armie began exchanging messages with several women. The texting led to infidelities. The three women connected and banded together to go after Armie to destroy him in the press. One of the women charged him with sexual assault and rape,” she added.
Dru talked about meeting some of Armie‘s accusers.
“I met two of the three young women who came against Armie,” she said. “They were both beautiful and wanted way more than Armie was capable of giving them at the time. They were looking at Armie as Mr. Right. Armie was looking at them as Ms. Right Now. As a mother, my heart was broken for all involved. The covenant God has for two becoming one was not in this equation.”
Armie recently discussed the cannibalism accusations, talked about going to rehab, and opened up about co-parenting with his ex-wife.
