Scott Eastwood Apologizes to His Dead Girlfriend's Father

Scott Eastwood has made amends with the father of his former girlfriend, apologizing for not offering his condolences after she tragically died in 2014 at age 26.

Jewel Brangman’s father, Alexander Brangman, told People that the “Suicide Squad” actor called him on Tuesday.

“He said ‘I didn’t reach out because I didn’t know what to say,'” Brangman recalled. “He was very apologetic.”

Brangman told People that he was “hurt” by the actor’s initial silence, adding, “I was disappointed he didn’t come to her celebration of life. Many people were actually disappointed. Many of her friends flew across the country to pay their respects and condolences. There wasn’t even a flower sent.”

During an interview with GQ Australia, Eastwood revealed the death of his former girlfriend. While he didn’t name her, she was subsequently identified as model Jewel Brangman, who perished due to a faulty air bag following a fender bender.

In the interview, Eastwood lamented that he had yet to offer his condolences to her father, admitting, “I still haven’t found the right words.”

While Brangman ultimately forgave Eastwood, he did express disappointment in the actor for publicly discussing his daughter’s death without consulting him first. “I don’t think he handled the situation properly,” Brangman said.

Brangman added that he and Eastwood agreed to meet at a future point, though no date was set.

“Maybe someday that’ll happen,” Brangman said. “If we do get together, that could be something interesting. If he wants to confide in me the struggles he’s been going through in regards to their relationship and her passing, I’ll be more than glad to counsel him.”

18 'Suicide Squad' Characters Ranked, Worst to Best (Photos)

"Suicide Squad" is technically a movie about bad guys, but they can't all be bad, right? Click through to find out! (Spoilers ahead.)
Warner Bros/DC Comics
18. Griggs

Abuses prisoners at Belle Reve, collaborates with the Joker, never gets any kind of comeuppance. I guess this ranking will have to do.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
17. Incubus

What was this CGI monstrosity? He looks like a cast-off from “Gods of Egypt.”
Warner Bros/DC Comics
16. Batman

Remember that time he punched Harley Quinn in the face underwater and all the dudes in the theater laughed? Not a great moment for humanity there. And yet it's nearly Batman's entire involvement in this movie.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
15. Slipknot

When he randomly showed up in the movie as a member of the Suicide Squad without ever being mentioned before, my friend leaned over and was like, “Who is that?” And that about sums up Slipknot, since he got his head blown off like 45 seconds later.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
14. Rick Flag

Had two Gs in his name in the comics, yet they removed one of them here? Also he's one-note and boring. That probably matters more.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
13. Enchantress

This 6,000-year-old magic lady who builds a magic hole in the sky that can apparently knock over aircraft carriers thousands of miles away had to ask someone how to destroy the human armies.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
12. June Moone

I guess she's better than Enchantress by default, by virtue of simply of being the tangible human half of that CGI horror.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
11. Jonny Frost

A Joker henchman who makes absolutely zero impression. Pretty hard to pull off!
Warner Bros/DC Comics
10. Monster T

Hey remember that time Common got cast in a franchise comic-book movie as a known comic book character only to get murdered in his first scene? Yeesh. This character was wasted so badly I didn't even have a picture of him to use for this slide.

9. Lieutenant GQ Edwards

This dude, played by Scott Eastwood, was treated in pre-release as a mystery character who either had a secret identity or would become a famous comic book dude. And then he spent the end movie hovering in the background before blowing himself up. All right.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
8. The Joker

Compared with most of the other nonsense in the movie, Jared Leto's Joker is inoffensive and sparingly used enough to make it in the upper half of the rankings.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
7. Harley Quinn

Has characteristics and established personal motivations, making her an instant standout in "Suicide Squad." Except it's all ruined when it's revealed that all she, the Joker's girlfriend, really wants is an upper-middle-class lifestyle with a husband who wears a suit to work.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
6. Katana

Really loves her husband, who lives in her soul-stealing sword. They should do a movie about her trying to figure out how to get him out of there.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
5. Amanda Waller

There's a part where she randomly murders a bunch of FBI agents who work for her and it was a pretty awesome moment, even if it doesn't make any sense.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
4. Deadshot

Does the most killing of any of them, so that's cool. Is played by Will Smith, so that's even cooler. Hates Batman, so he's basically my best friend.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
3. Killer Croc

Nobody ever says what it was he did to get locked in a blacksite prison forever. I assume it was just racism.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
2. Captain Boomerang

This dude I identify with strongly: he's got bad facial hair, is constantly drinking beer and is woefully unqualified for battling magic monsters. Though he doesn't really contribute at all, he's my favorite of the bunch.
Warner Bros/DC Comics
1. El Diablo

I like his tattoos and also his ability to set a million people on fire at once. I also identify strongly with his desire to not kill a million people at once -- which, in the context of this movie, makes him easily the best.
