"Way harsh, Jen. Jennifer Esposito didn&amp;apos;t hold back when it came to her past relationships in her new book, Jennifer&amp;apos;s Way.&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe Blue Bloods actress, 41, released her healthy eating and personal narrative memoir last month, and didn&amp;apos;t hesitate to include scathing tidbits about an ex&amp;#x2014;seemingly her ex-husband, Bradley Cooper.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nCooper, 39, and Esposito divorced in 2007 after just four months of marriage.&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;Finding someone to love, who loved me, in this lonely city of Los Angeles was seeming more and more impossible every day,&amp;quot; the Crash actress writes in her book. &amp;quot;Then I met someone and accepted a date.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I should have noticed the red flags from the beginning&amp;#x2014;actually, they were more like an entire marching band squad of red flags&amp;#x2014;but I ignored them because, honestly, I didn&amp;apos;t think the relationship was really going to go anywhere,&amp;quot; Esposito put it bluntly. &amp;quot;He was funny, smart, cocky, arrogant, and a master manipulator. I didn&amp;apos;t necessarily find him that attractive, but I figured that I could enjoy his sense of humor and nonsense for a while.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe actors&amp;apos; stint of &amp;quot;nonsense&amp;quot; quickly progressed as they tied the knot in December 2006.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;One date became two, two dates became four,&amp;quot; Esposito continued in Jennifer&amp;apos;s Way. &amp;quot;We had fun, but he also had a mean, cold side. His personality could flip on a dime, but that kind of behavior was familiar to me. I&amp;apos;d spent plenty of time walking on eggshells in my childhood home as well as on certain sets, so I quickly learned my role in the relationship and went forward accordingly. But the relationship was about him and what he needed, and nothing else... It wasn&amp;apos;t all bad all the time, so I figured this was just my lot, and I took the good with the bad, even though the bad was extremely bad.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;Within days, my relationship hit an all-time low, and within a week, it was over,&amp;quot; she wrote about the end of the short-lived relationship. &amp;quot;Abruptly, rudely, and with the exact callousness that I&amp;apos;d come to expect from him, but this time, I did nothing but agree to end it.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWhile Cooper has yet to comment on his ex-wife&amp;apos;s harsh words, the American Hustle actor did speak out in March 2011 about their brief marriage. &amp;quot;It was just something that happened,&amp;quot; he told Howard Stern at the time. &amp;quot;The good thing is, we both realized it&amp;#x2026; Sometimes you just realize it.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nIn the years since the split, Esposito dated tennis player Mark Philippoussis, and is now engaged to model Louis Dowler. For his part, Cooper has held many high-profile relationships including flings with Suki Waterhouse, Dowler&amp;apos;s ex-girlfriend Ren&amp;#xE9;e Zellweger, and Zoe Saldana.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
