Jerry O’Connell has responded to claims made by ex girlfriend Giuliana Rancic in her new book that accuse him of cheating on her with Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
Rancic recalled in her memoir that she confronted the Stand by Me actor over his infidelity, and the pair soon reconciled. Until he dropped her at a star-studded party for his current wife Rebecca Romijn.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live and answering a caller’s question about his reaction to Rancic’s book claims, the star replied: “For those of you who don’t know, Giuliana Rancic is a personality on another network.
“And we dated, then we didn’t date.”
But he refused to be drawn into an ugly spat with the E! presenter and instead reflected: “She’s a very nice girl, don’t want to say anything negative. She’s a very nice girl.
“We had a very fun time. It was decades ago. I don’t believe cell phones were used then. It was like horse and buggy… It was a while ago.”
The Sliders star also revealed on the Bravo show that he once “had a shot with Mariah Carey”.
Reminiscing about the late ’90s, during which he starred in Carey’s music video for ‘Heartbreaker’, O’Connell recalled: “I went to college with the director of the video [Brett Ratner], and he was like, ‘Dude, you have to shoot this for me right now’.
“I really thought I had a shot at Mariah Carey. Literally, I put some gel in my hair, that’s what we did in the ’90s, and I went down there, and I gotta tell you, it was working.
“I was invited back to her Winnebago… We were drinking champagne and I was thinking, ‘This is going to go down’.”
Sadly for O’Connell, the singer was dating “a very famous star named Luis Miguel” at the time, and he admitted: “He came in with his security team and everything, and I was like out of that trailer…. and that was it. I think I could have had a shot.”
