People are layered, their journeys are full of highs and lows, and as an actor, my job is to lean into those elements and bring them to life with honesty and empathy," Natalie Dormer told Variety in a statement. _ "Since completing the project, new information has come to light that makes it impossible for me to reconcile my values with Sarah Ferguson's behavior, which I believe is inexcusable," Natalie Dormer said. "For that reason, I will not be taking part in the promotion of the project." _ Instead, the starlet "donated my entire salary from this project to the National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC) and the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse (hosted by Barnardo's)." The blonde beauty stressed that her decision was "not a reflection" of her experience working with the Left Bank team, which produced The Lady. "They are an extraordinary company to collaborate with and I'm grateful for the time we spent together," she clarified. _ A leaked email revealed Sarah Ferguson was apologetic after parting ways with Jeffrey Epstein, whose relationship with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, led to the demise of his royal career."You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family," she wrote.
The revelation shocked organizations that work closely with the Duchess of York, as she previously said their interactions were a "gigantic error of judgment" and that she would have "nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again." _ In the midst of controversy, Sarah Ferguson's team attempted to explain her thought process. "This email was sent in the context of advice the duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats," a rep said in a statement. _ Once it became known that Sarah Ferguson reached out to Jeffrey Epstein while he was in jail, seven charities publicly ended their relationship with the Duchess of York.
