Episode Synopsis

Ione Sky Lee BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Ione Skye has been making headlines this week with the release of her explosive new memoir "Say Everything" which hit shelves on Tuesday March 4th. The actress is causing quite a stir by revealing intimate details about her romantic encounters with Hollywood A-listers, most notably her "Say Anything" co-star John Cusack. According to People magazine, Skye admits in the book that she and Cusack slept together years after their iconic 1989 film wrapped, describing it as something she needed to "get out of her system" following her divorce from Beastie Boys member Adam Horovitz in 2000.What makes this revelation particularly juicy is Cusack's reaction to reading an advance copy of the memoir. The actor apparently texted Skye saying "You made the experience sound so meh. It wasnt meh for me," clearly feeling shortchanged by her casual description of their encounter. Skye defended herself to People, explaining that their real chemistry was in their creative collaboration rather than their bedroom activities, though she admitted feeling "a little bad" about disappointing her former co-star.The 54-year-old actress is surprisingly candid about her past relationships in the memoir, including her bisexuality and multiple affairs during her marriage to Horovitz, notably with model Jenny Shimizu. She even reveals having a crush on her late co-star River Phoenix from "A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon." Despite naming numerous celebrities throughout the book, Skye tells People she's only "a little nervous" about the potential backlash, noting that those who have read advance copies have been supportive.The memoir appears to be a cathartic experience for Skye, who compared writing it to motherhood in terms of its transformative impact. Now married to musician Ben Lee with whom she shares 15-year-old daughter Goldie, plus 24-year-old daughter Kate from her relationship with David Netto, Skye seems to have embraced a new fearlessness that comes with age. She's clearly banking on her Hollywood insider stories resonating with readers hungry for behind-the-scenes revelations from the entertainment industry's golden era.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
