Getty: 'I regret not defending Miller'

Balthazar Getty has expressed his regret at not defending Sienna Miller from tabloid criticism.

The actress said that her life was made "intolerable" by the paparazzi when it emerged that she was seeing Getty, who was estranged from his wife Rosetta at the time.

Speaking to TV Guide, Getty said: "There comes a time when it just gets a little bit too hurtful. It takes two to tango, man. You can't just point your finger at one person. Historically, women always get the short end of the stick."

The actor admitted that he was upset with the press for intruding on his family, adding: "People went too far, whether it was invading Rosetta and the kids' privacy or saying really awful things about Sienna. They (photographers and reporters) yelled the most awful, disturbing things at her.

"Sometimes I wish I'd just stepped forward and said, 'Enough!'"
