LOS ANGELES — Ashton Kutcher looks like he’s been living it up since allegations of an affair wrecked his six-year marriage to Demi Moore.
The “Two and a Half Men” star has been hitting the town in Los Angeles and last week flirted shamelessly on the red carpet with his “New Year’s Eve” co-star Lea Michele.
Things have not been so rosy for the woman at the center of his alleged affair. Sara Leal, 22, told FOXNews.com that her life became a living hell after she hooked up with Kutcher, 33. She lost her job working as an administrative assistant and was kicked out of her apartment.
Only now, two months later, is she putting all the pieces of her life back together.
“I got fired from my job. I am no longer friends with my best friend who was my roommate because it caused so many problems and I had to move out,” Leal told FOXNews.com. “I wasn’t working for two months, and I only just started working three weeks ago. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.”
Leal became infamous in September when the news broke that she allegedly had unprotected sex with Kutcher after an all-night party in his suite at San Diego’s Hard Rock Hotel. Their reported dalliance took place on the actor’s six-year anniversary with Moore, 49.
Leal told Us Weekly magazine that she and the actor were joined by another young woman for a nude dip in Kutcher’s hot tub where the actor told her he was separated from his wife.
She claims she did not even know he was married until a friend brought it up. “I don’t watch television and I read very few magazines. It never crossed my mind that he was married. But then he said he was separated, which still doesn’t make things OK, but I wasn’t thinking clearly,” Leal said.
Asked whether she would have romped with the actor knowing what she knows now about the effect it would have on her life, Leal said, “No way!”
Leal was further embarrassed when her former friends leaked pictures of her partying in Las Vegas to the tabloids.
“Those made me look bad and everyone who knows me on a personal basis knows I am not a crazy s–t party girl,” she said. “I’ve had one boyfriend since I lived in San Diego, and those pictures were one weekend out of my life that painted the worst image of me ever. I was a mess for two weeks straight it was so horrible.”
But things have since died down. Kutcher has moved on and is going through divorce proceedings with Moore. Most people do not even remember the name of the young woman who was splashed all over the tabloids for a month straight, which Leal said she is happy about, since she just wants her life to go back to normal.
