Sarah Larson blindsided and heartbroken by Clooney split
“She thought they were getting married. Instead, she got dumped,” a friend said. “She’s really upset. Devastated.”
Larson found herself teary-eyed, packing her bags and walking out the door of the home the couple had shared in Los Angeles.
Friends said the 29-year-old fled to Las Vegas, where she was working at a nightclub in the Palms Casino Hotel before Clooney swept her off her feet one year ago.
The pretty brunette, a former “Fear Factor” reality show contestant, is already back with her old crowd. Larson made her first public appearance since the breakup on Saturday at the Palms Place Hotel & Spa’s grand opening party.
As things got serious with Clooney, Larson had moved into his Los Angeles mansion, subletting her home in Las Vegas. Tongues wagged that she might be “the one” when he took her to the Oscars this year.
Less than a month ago, the couple were in New York celebrating the actor’s 47th birthday. They were taking it slow, but they were planning to eventually wed, they told friends at the time.
“She’s totally heartbroken and doesn’t deserve this,” a friend said. “It came out of nowhere. They had made all these plans.”
The June Harper’s Bazaar interview with Larson might have pushed Clooney over the precipitous ledge he’s been on as an older, famous childless man who can have any woman he wants. Larson talked about how she met Clooney in the interview, called her appearance at the Oscars with him “like a modeling job - smiling and greeting people,” and said she used to make $1,000 a night as a cocktail waitress in Vegas. She claims she has no ambitions to act, but with the type of money she was making she could easily go back into hostess work or whatever she was doing.
I bet Larson would never have lasted as long as she did with Clooney or even been granted arm candy status if she didn’t get into that motorcycle accident with him last September. That event may have made Clooney settle down temporarily, but he didn’t change into a man ready for a long term commitment overnight.
If you want to judge if a guy could be in it for the long haul, just look at his past relationships. If all he has in his recent past is a string of short term girlfriends, you’re bound to be one too. I know I’ve been fooled by charm and influence too, and you learn and move on. At least Sarah has some fabulous couture and jewelry to take away with her.
