The actress set the record straight on what really happened at the Comic-Con afterparty in San Diego about a decade ago. She explained that she attended the event with her childhood friend when she begged her to exchange pleasantries with an actor she really liked.
Turner noted that her wave was as harmless as possible because she shared no prior relationship with the actor. Well, no thanks to her wave, the actor's relationship with her partner suffered damage.
The Blast reported that the actress told Seth Meyers during her appearance on his show that the actor and his fiancée ended their engagement that night.
