On X, formerly called Twitter, Thompson responded to a video that was shared of Quaid at a Trump rally, writing, “I was engaged to him,” along with a confused face emoji.
In the video, Quaid is shown speaking at a Trump rally Saturday in Coachella, California, during which he said, “Are we going to be a nation of law and order? Or wide open borders? Which is it? Because it’s time to pick a side.”
“Trump is the most investigated person probably in the history of the world, and they haven’t been able to really get him on anything,” Quaid said.
In 2012, Thompson reflected on her engagement to Quaid in an interview with HuffPost, calling him a “great guy.”
“He taught me everything I needed to know about Hollywood and acting,” she said. “I met him on my very first movie so I didn’t know anything. I really owe him a debt of gratitude for teaching me the ropes.”
