Is Ryan Phillippe a Serial Cheater? A Look at His Relationship With Abbie Cornish

After nearly four years of dating,
Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish called it quits. If reports about Phillippe's infidelity are to be believed, then Cornish should have adhered to the adage, "If he cheats with you, he'll cheat on you."
Last May,
Page Six reported that Phillippe was partying with several blondes in Cannes -- and Cornish was nowhere to be seen.
In December,
The National Enquirer (via The Insider) claimed that the 'Bright Star' actress was fed up with his philandering ways. "Ryan and Abbie are on the rocks because he's back to his horndog ways. He's been hitting the clubs regularly and desperately trying to hook up with almost every young woman he meets. His womanizing has gotten so out of hand, it's like Abbie never existed," a source said.
But should Cornish be surprised? Not if she stops to think about how she and Phillippe came to be.
The pair met on the set of their film 'Stop Loss,' when Phillippe was still married to Reese Witherspoon back in 2006. Their romance ignited, despite the ring on Ryan's finger.
Then, the 'Legally Blonde' star filed for divorce in November of 2006. The tipping point, it seemed, were several clandestine text messages between Cornish and Phillippe that Reese spotted on her soon-to-be-ex husband's phone.
Phillippe and his rep took pains to deny other rumors of the actor's drug use during the divorce proceedings, yet he all but admitted he had cheated on his wife.
"I'm not a perfect person, but I'm not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of. My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family," Ryan
said at the time. He refused to specifically comment on his supposed relationship with Cornish, though.
Abbie later
told W that being associated with the end of the Phillippe-Witherspoon marriage was "a really difficult time for me."
"For me, it was like night and day. I woke up one day and there was this whole new thing I had to process and deal with."
Well, Abbie, if you don't want to be cast as the dirty mistress -- excuse our 'Grey's' reference -- don't sleep with a married man.
Now, we're not saying Abbie deserved what she got, she just should have seen it coming. To use another cliche about philanderers -- once a cheater, always a cheater.

I agree...she deserves exactly what she got.
I wish Ryan and Reese could get back together!

Why ?
That ship has sailed...he's nasty.
Reese always had too much Class for that horndog. I feel sorry for her kids
She diserved it! Ryan cheated on reese so she should have known that he would do the same to her. That's what she gets for getting in between their relationship.
Ryan Phillippe is another guy who got in the movies for his looks and certainly not his talent...He'll lose the looks and be forgotten.

I totally agree! He's a horrible actor.
Can't stand to even watch him in anything!!
He also talks funny, I don't know what it is, but it bugs me.
Yep - if he cheats WITH you, chances are very good he'll cheat ON you. And they weren't even married anyway, so it technically wasn't even cheating. She got used and dumped, plain and simple; happens every day - maybe not to HER, but everyone gets dumped some time in their lives. Maybe she'll be less captivated by the next married man who hits on her.

I don't know of anything either of these 2 have been in. I do think that you reap what you sow. It doesn't feel so good when he is sleeping around on you now, does it? As they said earlier... if he (or she) will cheat with you, they will cheat on you. I'm sure it hurts, but you chose a cheater, and you got a cheater.

So very, very true
She is white trash (he isn't much better). She is getting exactly what she deserves.

I'm not sure what Abbie did to rate such negative standing - Not knowing the details of Ryan/Reese, I would not cast too heavy a shadow on Ms Cornish in this 21st century.
After 4 years, they are history & their relationship may not have been the bad karma which the author addresses - For Hollywood, it's borderline long-term...

You're not sure? That's a typical male response. SHE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A MARRIED MAN. The "details" of Ryan/Reese have nothing to do with it. I don't care what century it is, the marriage vows still remain the same. Helping a man cheat on his wife and 2 children is wrong. It's not that she didn't know he was married and had a family. She made the choice to sleep with a man that didn't belong to her. It's that simple.
He is nothing to look at, that is for sure. She gets what she deserves. He has poor moral character and that will never change. Reese is so much better off without him. Such a dirt bag and a crappy actor he is.
